Didn’t think about it, but at the same time, you want to grab it with both hands and do the best for the team. The environment is like. focus on yourself. Look at the area where we can improve as a team and just come together and fight each and every moment. We feel the wicket is good for batting. But at the same time, bowling first is not a bad option either. Shubman is getting well slowly, slowly. He was very eager to play the match. But at the same time, his body didn’t allow it.
