Suryakumar Yadav (India Captain): "Absolutely! I mean, we discussed the template and the brand of cricket we want to play in this series before going travelling here. Even though it was a shorter target, this is the template we want going ahead.
With the weather around, I thought anything below 160 or 150 chasing would have been nice. We have seen games here have been tricky. Rain helped us (chuckles). The way the boys batted was wonderful to see.
(About possible changes in the next match) We will sit and decide what we will do going forward. A little bit of luck has to go around and we were just blessed with the rain as well.
Very happy for the boys. Showed a lot of character in tough situations."

Charith Asalanka (Sri Lanka Captain): "Definitely disappointed about the middle order, lower middle order including me. We have to work hard on it.
This pitch when the ball gets older, it becomes hard to bat but I think as professional cricketers, we have to do well.
Definitely, we were behind by 15-18 runs. Weather also played its part. It's not easy to bowl 8 overs with a wet outfield."

Ravi Bishnoi (Player of the Match): "It (pitch) was a little different than yesterday. In the previous game, it was helping the spinners in the first innings. In the second innings, it didn't turn much. Tonight, it was different. In the first innings, it helped the spinners.
I stick to my plans. My pace is a good pace for me, I enjoy bowling in that pace. I just love bowling the wrong 'uns to the left-hander, especially. I will back myself bowling in the powerplay and take responsibility. Bowling at death is a good responsibility andit means the captain and the management trust in me."
