Rahul was further questioned if India, who had already qualified for the semi-finals, would be willing to rest players given the short turnaround between Sunday’s game and their semi-final.

While not committing to the approach that the Men in Blue would adopt, the India wicketkeeper showed the other side of the argument to this query.

“Like you said, we have one day’s break before the semi-finals, and we’ve got six days break now. So we’ll probably want all of the players to play the game, and get a little bit of time in the middle. But this is my version, we might see something different tomorrow.”
