India's captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni has revealed his plans ahead of the must-win clash against old foes Australia in the semi-final of 2016 World T20 at Mohali on Sunday.

The young Nepal leg-spinner picked 3/40 including the wickets of Kings XI Punjab's dangerous opening duo of Chris Gayle and K L Rahul.

Dinesh Karthik said in-form Andre Russell batted with a 'lot of maturity'
Chahar started the rot for KKR early in their innings when he trapped opener Chris Lynn in front of the wickets as the Aussie missed a pull off a delivery that kept low. Lynn was sent back inside the first over for a duck. He came into the equation in the next over when he took a brilliant catch, running backwards, to dismiss Sunil Narine for just 6 off the bowling of Harbhajan Singh.

Dhawan said that they didn't apprehend that dew would be a factor, just like the other way round in the previous game.
India captain Virat Kohli, on Sunday, criticised the Decision Review System, saying 'it is not consistent at all and becoming a talking point in every game'.
'He's somebody who constantly looks out on an area for improvement and he does that on a regular basis. Probably that's the reason why he has raised the game to such a level.'
'It is something we know about the IPL that the business end matters, we always come back well in the second half of this tournament'

'Getting used to the lights and the pink ball, especially early on, is the key.'
'Cricket in general is played at a pace below what it needs to be. Cricket needs to be speeded up in all forms of the game. If it puts pressure on captains and bowlers, so be it. We need to ask captains and bowlers to be a little bit surer in their plans'
RCB managed a below-par 158 for 4 on a difficult wicket but the hosts chased it down with one ball to spare.
"There has always been one point in the three games were we haven't been a better team. Losing the first three games you probably would say we can't (take positives), but we are trying to and there is no point in looking back...Because if we lose 4-5, it's going to be really tough to come back from that," he said.
