Toss Decision – Captain’s Comments
“We will bowl first. It’s a good surface, and this ground typically sees high scores. Knowing the target will help us plan our chase. It’s a significant moment for us to play in India, and I’m proud to represent the USA. Everyone is feeling confident,” said Monank Patel.
India captain Suryakumar Yadav expressed that he would have opted to bat first if he had won the toss.
“We wanted to bat first because the pitch looks promising. I don’t expect a lot of dew in the second innings. While we feel some pressure, we aim to play as we have been. The pitch should be good for all 40 overs. Bumrah is unwell, so Siraj is playing instead,” he mentioned.
