The intent and aggression is more important on a tricky wicket,” he said. The Indian team has for long spoken about playing aggressive cricket in T20Is, but this has not always come to fruition on the field.

Then Sri Lanka was chasing the game,” Hardik said. Suryakumar is well aware of his strengths, so there is little reason for Hardik to give him advice.
