After winning the toss, Gill explained his decision, citing the effect of dew in Ahmedabad. “We will bowl first. This is a good cricketing wicket. There is some dew here, and big goals can be chased. The preparation is amazing, and we have covered our hideouts with a solid bowling attack,” Gill said.
On the other hand, Iyer admitted that he must have opted to bowl first, but remained optimistic about batting first. “I chase a chase, but we are ready for the challenge. We have a lot of familiar faces, including Ricky (Ponting). Our team is well balanced with all-rounders, and we’re bad for options,” Iyer commented.
