On trolls on social media:
There's a reason we are playing on the field and not those spineless people. It is so unfortunate and sad to see people getting entertained. That is why we are doing what we are, & those spineless people are doing what they are.

On Hardik Pandya:
Hardik is fine if you are talking about the blow on shoulder. He is absolutely fine.

On Shardul Thakur:
He is definitely in our plans, constantly making a case for himself. Whether he fits in, that's obviously I can't talk about now.

On Bhuvneshwar Kumar:
I don't want to single out anyone. These are the guys who have done the job for us for long. You need to accept we were outplayed in the last game, without any ego or excuses.

On Trent Boult:
We are obviously going to come up against quality bowlers. It all depends on how we take the field and the mentality. If he is motivated to emulate Shaheen, we are motivated to counter him. We have played against them for a long time.

On Toss:
It will continue to be a big factor and that is the nature of the tournament. For us, our only focus is on how those 11 individuals are placed to win. It's been a long wait for us. Now we are itching to go back to park.

On Jasprit Bumrah:
He is the best across formats and that is why there are so much expectations from him and he does that too. All the other bowlers are good enough to pick up wickets as well.

On Shami again:
To me, attacking someone over their religion is the most pathetic thing a human being can do. Religion is a very sacred to an individual. People take out frustrations because they don't have any idea how much we put effort into the field.

On sixth bowling option:
It is important you have a sixth bowling option. Whether it is through me or Hardik. But it all depends on the situation of the match. It all boils down to execution.
