“We are looking to bat first. We have not batted first in this competition and we want to know our depth. Having game time is important going into the Super 4s,” SKY said at the toss.
He addded that Team India will aim to maintain their current habits and hopes to entertain the crowd. He also mentioned that the pitch looks good and notes that there are a couple of changes in the team, including Harshit Rana, while forgetting the name of the second change.
“We want to continue the good habits we are doing in the first two games and want to continue to do that. It is looking nice and our openers will assess it further,” he added.
“We have two changes – Harshit comes in, one more guy comes in, I have become like Rohit,” he joked.

It is a great opportunity to share the field with India and get a look at their mindset. We have two changes,” he said at the toss.
