Ravi Shastri hopeful of India series win

Friday, August 28 2015 by SNTV
  • SuggestedLeadIn: India's team director Ravi Shastri insists that India will play to win when they face Sri Lanka in the final Test which starts on Friday (28th August).

    Script: "Nothing changes from day one when I spoke to you before Galle. We play for only one reason. We play to win. So we've got ourselves in a position now where if you win this Test match, you win the series which is massive. So there is no point in being shy of going for a win. At the same time, it's not a case of being over-confident, you've got to have the right balance and go and play proper cricket like we did in the last Test match.

    "It would be very easy to make changes. We had options, we stuck with him (he) responded with not just a hundred but a brilliant catch on the last day so (his) contribution was tremendous."

    "No we'll take a look now but (Naman) Ojha is the key person so he'll get the first nod unless we have to do something with combinations. he is the first keeper in this squad now."

    "I remember getting a lot here with matches not getting over. First innings not getting over (finished) until the fifth day so please don't remind me of that. Hopefully with the series being the way it is, we want both teams to actually play exciting cricket."
