Captains at the toss!

Virat Kohli: “Not too bad, we would have bowled first as well, dew might be a factor. Toss is an uncontrollable. It’s a nice and hard pitch, much drier. I think it should be a pretty good pitch to bat on during the first half. It’s not a worry, we haven ‘ t defended too many totals in the past. We might not have reacted well. It’s a mindset thing, it’s all about belief. Every game counts, we’ll try to do things that we have not done in the past, we’ll try to execute those. I learnt a lot from the last innings. That’s the biggest revelation for me – if you never give up, things can change. I am happy to contribute, it might not be your day everyday. It’s the same team we are playing with. “

Kieron Pollard: “We are gonna bowl first. If you look at it, we want to come out and have a feel of it. We need to restrict them to a low total. We can’t be critical on the batsmen, everytime you score 305, you win a game. Hopefully we come out and do things right today. We have some plans for the batsmen, we need to keep them from scoring. We need to execute our yorkers, we have been practicing. Pressure is playing in front of thousands. One change, Pooran is back, Ramdin misses out. “

Team news: India has gone in with the unchanged playing XI. West Indies have one change as Nicholas Pooran replaces Denesh Ramdin.
