We should never play game. Look, I suppose on odd occasion, re's thing wrong with it. I don't think it's going to be rm. I think 10 o'clock start in morning still gets everybody excited and nervous," Domingo said. Earlier, Indian captain Virat Kohli, too, h felt same. "1 o'clock in afteron doesn't quite feel same. It's alrey passed my bedtime. rmally I'm in bed at this time. So it's different. And it's something that you can do on odd occasion. excitement is re. It's fantastic but only occasionally."
