There are individuals in every side who can play big innings, score at an amazing strike rate of 150 or 200, and that can really change the course of the game. So the preparation level remains the same and the intensity should be the same as when we play any other side.William Porterfield, the Ireland captain denied crowd pressure supporting Team India.
