“When we reached Delhi, he (Abhishek) went to the hospital for the examination. I think he was discharged today, and he is doing well. We have got one more day for the game. Hopefully, we will decide by tomorrow how he feels, and we will go with it,” Tilak told reporters in a pre-match press conference on Feb. 12.
Tilak also said pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah is totally fine, and his playing Feb. 12's game is dependent on the team management's decision. “He (Bumrah) is absolutely fine now. He is doing better. As I said, we have got one more day. Hopefully, he will be back in the team. If he is doing better, the team will take a call. I think he will be back tomorrow for the second game.”
Varma further said the side is excited and already prepared for the high-octane clash against Pakistan, to be played at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Feb. 15. “To be honest, we are very excited to play. We got to know that the match was going to take place the day before yesterday. We are ready to play."
“We are watching how all the other teams are doing. We are watching the bowlers as us batters, while the bowling group is also seeing other batters. The preparation is on, and we are well prepared. We got to know that the match was going to take place two days ago. All the players and team members are ready to play. Now, we are in the match zone, and the planning will start soon,” he concluded.
