What the captains say:
Rohit Sharma: "We need to play good cricket. We were able to win our last game due to the bowling we had and it's about putting enough runs on the board for them."
Ashwin: "We want to make conditions in the daylight and make use of the easier batting conditions later on when there could be some grease."

Ashwin will now look to forget all these unsavoury happenings of the first two games and start afresh.
In the first match, Punjab endured a controversy involving their captain Ashwin who 'Mankaded' Rajasthan batsman Jos Buttler. The act which was legal but criticised by some as against the 'Spirit of Cricket'.
In their second game against Kolkata, Ashwin's team was penalised for not keeping four men in the 30-yard circle and Andre Russell made full use of the reprieve to take the game away from Punjab.
Ashwin playing at home turf will definitely a player to watch out for.
