NEW DELHI: Suryakumar Yadav has a knack for keeping the atmosphere cheerful, both on and off the field. At press conferences too, the Indian T20I captain handles every question with ease, often leaving the room in laughter.

When asked if India-Pakistan contests were becoming one-sided in terms of quality, he replied that for him, the only thing that mattered was stepping out and entertaining a packed stadium.

"At that time, I don't know, I have never played (laughs), so I can't say, but if we talk about rivalry, I don't know what rivalry you are talking about," Surya told reporters ahead of Asia Cup Super 4 match against Pakistan in Dubai on Sunday.

"I just feel that the stadium is full and when the stadium is full, I tell my team and everyone that it's time for entertainment and people have come to watch the match, so you have to entertain and entertain everyone, let's play some good brand of cricket."

An Indian journalist cheekily asked, "Surya you guys batted well and also did a lot of other things well in the last game. So do you want to continue doing that?.

It was an obvious reference to the 'No Handshake' policy but the veteran of 100 press meets and tricky questions knew how to handle that.

"By other things, you mean we bowled well, isn't it?" he said with a wry smile which never left his face.

On the preparation for the match, he felt that the team is well settled after three games.

"I feel our preparations have been really good leading into the tournament and we had three good games also. So we are actually focusing on what we can do best."

Surya feels that toss won't give any extra edge considering the hot and humid conditions.

"We will have to start well from scratch and whoever plays well will win the game."
