Toss Decision – Captain’s Comments & Reasoning

"We will bowl first. So far so good. We have learned a lot from the last two games. We lost the previous games, but we are ready. Players are putting in hard yards. There are no complaints. The surface looks good, and there is no grass on it. We chased down 245 when we played over here the last time," Shreyas Iyer said.

SRH skipper Pat Cummins would have batted first had he won the toss. 

"We would have bowled, but we have won many matches batting first, so no complaints. Hopefully, we will be able to give our best. I like seeing positive cricket, and fans have backed us. I can't rate pitches, as they all have been high scoring," he said.
