Speaking of Surya, all eyes will be on the Indian skipper, who will be looking to capitalise on his good starts in the series and post a big score to boost his confidence ahead of the upcoming T20 series in South Africa.

I understand that you have other new-ball options, you have Arshdeep Singh, and Mukesh Kumar is playing,”
“When you talk about the white-ball, Bhuvi can fit in any team, especially when he is bowling well because he does not lack at all in terms of skill and experience. It’s a different thing that he didn’t play against Australia here, but he should be kept in the scheme of things.” the former pacer added.
