“It is always going to be tough to get up within a short span because of the scheduling these days. It’s only been a week since we came from Australia, but playing against a team like India is always exciting and definitely one that motivates,” says Ish Sodhi

So, the news from the centre is that the toss has officially been delayed due to heavy showers. The rain gods haven’t been kind to T20 cricket in the recent times. A number of matches were washed away due to rain during the T20 World Cup too
