Shikhar Dhawan: Quite proud of the way the boys played, we didn't get a good start, the way Shreyas, Samson and Shardul batted was excellent. We gave away too many runs on a wicket that swung and spun, the fielding wasn't great, but this was a good learning experience for us

06 October 2022 03:23 PM IST
VVS Laxman- It's worked well so far (as a stand-in coach), it started from the Ireland series, the one England T20I (1st match) and the Zimbabwe series. Obviously, need to cover up for Rahul (Dravid) given his work commitments and the T20 World Cup coming up now. Have a good bunch of cricketers, they are all looking forward to the series, the competition between them is good, we are spoiled for choices considering the amount of talent we have. It'll be difficult for the selectors to get the right team going into the 2023 50-over World Cup. All the youngsters are doing well, they know that they'll not get too many opportunities once the main players return, but this is a chance to perform well and keep themselves in the hunt when the strongest side is being picked
06 October 2022 03:23 PM IST
SA pace spearhead KAGISO RABADA believes that playing in the IPL becomes beneficial for touring teams in the future as information about the Indian players gets easily passed on during the T20 extravaganza. "It is something we have prepared before going into the series. Luckily enough with leagues like the IPL, we play a lot with these players and against them as well, so information can be easily passed around these days. But yes, analysis has been done and it has to be done"
