Virat Kohli is the man of the match.
MS Dhoni: I think consistent performance is very important. In the last 9-10 T20s we have played, we have done well. It was good to see a few of the others contributing as well. Yuvraj Singh's innings was crucial, not just for this match but for the team as well, good to see him get into some good form.
Yuvraj has now more T20I sixes than Boom Boom Shahid Afridi.
With this innings, Kohli's avg in T20Is has again crossed 50. Its 51.03 now.
Most fifties in T20Is: Virat Kohli 13, Brendon McCullum 13, Gayle 13.
India have now won the toss 3 times in 4 T20Is. They had won only one in their previous 13 T20Is.
MS Dhoni: We'll have to wait and see how the pitch behaves. A bit less grass on this wicket, more suitable for the batsman. Good preparation this tournament (for the World Cup). Fortunate to have so many games before the World T20. But you want to win games, it takes the pressure of the youngsters, they'll learn to react under pressure. One change, Dhawan back for Rahane.
Angelo Mathews: Has a bit more grass than the previous match. I wanted to bowl first because of the dew. We have to fire today, and to win we have to score runs. We come in as the underdogs and have nothing to lose. We'll take this seriously, we are trying to settle down before the World T20. Unchanged team.
