It has been a belter so far. It's a good toss to lose, don't mind bating or bowling first. For us, it's important how we use it (impact player). We'll use it only when required. Forced change, Vijay Shankar isn't playing. Abhinav comes in for him. It's my home state, lot of love, everyone comes here and supports us, exciting.
We are looking to bowl. Boult is coming in place of Jason Holder. Padikkal is playing if he gets to bat, I am not sure. We'll keep learning about impact substitution. I'd like to score some runs today.
RR have won the toss and have opted to bowl. It's time for GT to bat first.
The temperature is expected to stay clear during the match. There is no rain predicted and the temprature is expected to hover around 26 degrees to 39 degrees.
