Speaking at the toss, Shubman Gill said, “We’ll bowl first, looks like a good wicket. Will be good to have a target on the board. We want momentum heading into the qualifiers, these two games are going to be equally important.”
(On partnership with Sai Sudharsan) “The way we compliment each other is great, we don’t have conversations on who will take down the bowlers. We just play with a positive intent and stay in the moment. No changes,” concluded Shubman Gill.
Meanwhile, Rishabh Pant said, “Would have bowled first, looks a good wicket. There is a challenge when you are already eliminated, but we take pride in playing cricket.”
“As a team, we are trying different options that give ourselves the best chance of winning. Anything that could help us prepare for next season. Akash Deep comes in, and a few more changes for us,” concluded Rishabh Pant.
