But we’ve also come in with some really good talent; Arshdeep (Singh) has done a great job and also the way Prince Yadav has bowled in the last few games is very impressive. I feel like we’re going to play them with some really good talent, the more we get after them the better Sam. defeat.Arshdeep suffered a blow to his left arm while batting towards the end of India’s innings.

However, Samson backed both Abhishek and Ishan Kishan, saying that one tough outing should not be a cause for concern.Abhishek scored 69 in the previous match while Kishan was among India’s consistent scorers.“Ishan (Kishan) and Abhishek Sharma are the best two batsmen in the world; I don’t think you can ask for anything more from them, one game is fine.
