Virat Kolhi is confident ahead of the tough clash with the formidable opponents. Ahead of the match he said, “This season is pretty different for us because for the last three or maybe four years myself, Chris [Gayle] and AB [de Villiers] have played under a lot of pressure because the batting revolved around the three of us.
“But, this time around we have got Dinesh Karthik, Darren Sammy, Badrinath and youngsters like Mandeep Singh coming into the batting line-up. It is a very strong batting unit this time and we have got really good depth”.
