Manish Pandey: The last match was a good one for me. It is a good sign for the team and I hope that it goes well for us. I love to open the batting, but if the team demands, I can bat lower down the order. I hope to continue my form from the past few games. I enjoy fielding well. It is a honor to be with Ganguly. He is a legend and he is a great captain.
Ryan Harris: The more I have bowled, the better I have gotten. I hope that I continue to contribute. We have lost some games away from home. We play well here, but we need to nail matches at crucial times. The wicket looks good. It could be a bit dry but I was surprised to see some grass. We have six games left and if we win five, we have a chance.
Yuvraj: Mohali is still my home ground. Hopefully, the crowd will support us. We tried a lot of options but it did not work out. Dada is not ready yet and we are going to give him some more time. Both the teams are in a same situation and a win today will boost our confidence. We would have bowled. The dew could come later. Thomas, Smith sit out while Ferguson and Parnell come back into the team.
Gilchrist: It is good to come back home. We have had some good results at home. We need to win most of the games. The top four teams are pulling away from the bottom four. Gayle has been phenomenal and the conditions are suited to us. It is a little dry underneath and today will be a high-scoring game. We will bat first. We can get a big total and we can defend it. There are a total of five changes in the team. We have had to reassess our combination and try some new things.
