This is the first time I have been part of the Indian cricket team. I want to continue playing for the team and show promise and keep contributing," said Nitish Kumar Reddy during the post-match presentation ceremony.

Suryakumar Yadav Reflects On India's Dominant Win
Suryakumar Yadav could not do his bit with the bat tonight but managed to produce a masterclass in bowling changes as India outclassed Bangladesh in the 2nd T20I. Speaking during the post-match presentation ceremony, the Indian skipper added that he asked his players go out there and 'express themselves'.
"You can say that. At the same time, I wanted us to be in such a position. I wanted our number 4 and 5 to come out to bat in that precarious situation. Happy for Rinku and Nitish. They batted exactly how we wanted to be. Absolutely, the message has been loud and clear. We have asked them to express themselves. Just need to go out and bat as they do in the nets, practice sessions and in domestic games. Just the jersey changes, rest remaining remains the same," said Surya.
"No! Only in the last over. I wanted to see what different bowlers can do, especially in games where we're defending 170-175. So, I used many bowlers without Hardik. Sometimes Hardik doesn't bowl, and sometimes Washington Sundar doesn't. I wanted to see what the other guys had in store, really happy with it. It was Nitish's day, so I wanted to give him a chance," he added.
