Before the start of the match, Bhuvaneshwar Kumar said, "It's difficult, especially when you're quarantined and won't be able to bowl for a week. The human body has a tendency to shut down. It's simpler to get into match rhythm if you practice regularly. I did some strength training and cardio in quarantine, as well as whatever else, was available in the rooms.
We did our utmost to keep our bodies in the greatest possible shape. We didn't put on complete displays in the first leg - if the hitting was strong, the bowling was just not, and vice versa and there were some fielding issues. In all three divisions, we must show up as a unit. We're off to a fresh start after winning only one game in the first leg. We only have seven matches to create an impression, and if we don't perform well, we won't qualify, so we're concentrating on the fundamentals so that we can put on complete performances as a squad."
