India showed a lot of intent while chasing 176 in the first ODI against West Indies and going forward the team will continue to bat in a similar fashion, hinted Suryakumar Yadav on Tuesday. India had chased down the target in just 28 overs. Surya also feels that batting first isn't really a big challenge for the side. “Not really, I think, we have kept things really simple, we are going to bat the same way, we did in the last game, it is just that when we bat first, we need to try and bat till the end to have that defendable score, but the way we batted in the second innings in the last game, I think it was perfect.

Former India batter Aakash Chopra reckons that Mumbai Indians will do everything in their power to get Ishan Kishan at the Indian Premier League (IPL) mega auction.

"It will be very very difficult because there is no right to match card, to begin with, and secondly, their whole success formula that they eventually found was about two skilled players - they had Hardik, Krunal and Pollard one after the other and that provided them with a lot of depth. Their wicketkeeper was always a phenomenal batter, when you look at Quinton de Kock or Ishan Kishan - is it possible to now get all of them together, it's almost next to impossible," Chopra said on Star Sports show 'Game Plan -- IPL Auction Special'.
