We are all happy, there is quite a bit of fun, banter, and laughter on the side, and we are all enjoying each other's company. It's very hot, but hope to have a good game tomorrow.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Asked about an update on the availability of Faf du Plessis for the game, Badani said, \u201cI genuinely cannot give you anything with regards to the team mix up, whether he is ready or not, we will have to wait and see tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Talking about wicket-keeper batter Abishek Porel\u2019s performance so far, the coach said, \u201cThe very fact that we have retained him gives you a message that we value him, and the very fact that he features in all our games also tells you that he is somebody we think has a massive upside.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"He has already done well for us this year, and as you would see sides want to stack up with left-handers, and right-handers, he adds massive value with him being a left-hander, and even though KL keeps wickets, he has got great hands in the field as well,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The head coach also put his weight behind the young Australian batter Jake Fraser-McGurk, who has been struggling to score a bit one. \u201cHe is someone who gives us massive starts and someone who we believe is a match-winner. Yes, the numbers this year haven\u2019t been his best compared to last year, but we, as a side, believe that he is someone who is likely to be a player who can always come good for us at any given time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cIt also gives us the freedom to keep having him in the side because of our position at the moment, with five wins in six games, it just gives us the cushion to have someone like him in the XI, and if he fires, it's happy days for us,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The head coach also put his weight behind the young Australian batter Jake Fraser-McGurk, who has been struggling to score a bit one. \u201cHe is someone who gives us massive starts and someone who we believe is a match-winner.
