Pitch Report by Michael Atherton and Ian Bishop:It's the same pitch that was used for the NZ-WI game. Dimensions don't generally play a role here. The pitch has a few scratches on it because of the bowlers' followthrough. It looks a good enough surface. The slower balls and the cutters worked in that contest against New Zealand. It might spin off the footmarks. With the sun out, not a cloud in the sky, whoever wins the toss, will want to bat first.

Virat Kohli: We are gonna bat first. Looks like a hard surface. We've got two wrist spinners and Kedar Jadhav is the third spinner. It's a used pitch, we see it slowing down. There are a few rough patches at the right spots for our wrist spinners. A lot more application, understanding the situation. When there's a 50-60 partnership, make it into a big one. I think closing out situations and capitalising on them will be the key. Same team.

Jason Holder: We wanted to bat as well. If there's anything in the wicket, it's probably first-up. Hopefully we get early wickets. We have got two changes. Sunil Ambris comes in for Evin Lewis and Fabian Allen comes in for Nurse. Evin's struggling for the last couple of days. We thought Fabian is well suited against this Indian team. Hopefully, he does well. We are getting closer and closer. It's about putting in a complete game. Today's another opportunity.
