Captains' Comments at the Toss

Pat Cummins:

"We will bat first as the pitch looks promising. Our bowlers have been sharp, and the batters are performing well. We aim to build early momentum and maintain consistency, having played well in the last few matches. We are fielding the same team as before."

Ajinkya Rahane:

"I was inclined to bowl first regardless. Teams chasing have won the last two games here. After an 18-day break, it’s a challenge, but we are focused on practice. With everyone heading home after this match, we aim to play for victory and entertain our fans. We’ve had our moments this season, and it’s about learning from our experiences. Agkrish has been exceptional, adapting well to batting at 4 or 5, and I hope he continues to grow and represent India."
