White also shared that he would love to take the wicket of Sanju Samson and would look not to go into the shell. He said: "He's been very good over the last years and they have some very exciting talent in their squad - in truth, I'd be happy with anyone's wicket. They are very good players of spin but I don't think I would be more defensive. I'll just be trying to take wickets and attacking.”

"Everyone's excited and we'll eliminate pressure by playing the way we do. Every ball is an event and we have to stay one step ahead of them. We'll enjoy it - with the big crowd they bring to the ground and the noise they make it should be a great spectacle," Ben White concluded.

White has 21 wickets to his name in 18 T20Is. Meanwhile, senior players have been granted a rest from this series while Jasprit Bumrah has been named as the skipper for the series. After a long gap due to injury, both Bumrah and Prasidh Krishna are set to make a comeback in this series. New players like Rinku Singh have been included also.
