Later, during a press conference, Hardik revealed that when he meets with the World Cup-winning captain, he does not discuss the game. “Mahi bhai is here which is good as we get to meet him. We can get out of the hotel also (to meet him). Otherwise, the way we have played in the last one month, it has just been hotel to hotel,” he said at a press conference.

“And when we meet we try to talk about life and keep cricket away. When we played together I learnt a lot from him. I have squeezed a lot out of him (knowledge)… there is not much left,” said Hardik.
India will hope to continue their good form in the shortest format after sweeping the ODI series against New Zealand, with Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill set to open the first game. This will be India’s first T20 match since beating Sri Lanka 2-1 earlier this month.
Gill has only played three T20Is (his debut came against Sri Lanka) and will open with Kishan following his outstanding performance in the ODI series. As India won the series 3-0, the 23-year-old scored a double-ton and a century.
