Gurbaz and Hazratullah Zazai are at the crease. Gurbaz is on strike. Arshdeep Singh will open the attack
Welcome back for the chase. Zazai has walked out along with Gurbaz. Ibrahim pushed down the order.
Suryakumar Yadav: That's what I have practised, I enjoy batting from (7-15 overs) that's the most difficult phase where the opposition bowlers look to control things. I like to take charge in that phase, I enjoy it. I started chewing my gum harder when he (Kohli) got out. I just backed my game and my instincts. I have played a lot of cricket with him (Rohit Sharma) and now under him, he understands my game. He knows my game, so he sits back and enjoys it. It's a good total, let's see what happens now.
12:21 Local Time, 16:21 GMT, 21:51 IST: So India finish strong with 102 runs coming off the last 10 overs.
