IND vs ENG: Rohit Sharma at the Toss

Rohit Sharma (India Captain): "I would have bowled first. We wanted to bowl today, but it doesn't matter what happens at the toss. We need to perform with whatever we are given. Now, we will start with the ball, so we want to be aggressive early on and then see how things go from there.

We had a good break, which was nice. It gave us time to reflect on the past. Now, we’re focused on this series, which offers great opportunities. We want to play our best cricket.

We haven’t played much in this format since the World Cup, so we aim to do well in all three areas and be prepared for the Champions Trophy.

Jaiswal and Harshit are both making their debuts today. Unfortunately, Virat won’t play because of a knee issue in his right leg, which happened last night.

Our team includes 5 batters, 3 all-rounders, 1 spinner, and 2 seamers.

IND vs ENG: Jos Buttler at the Toss

Jos Buttler (England Captain): "We are going to bat first today. The dressing room atmosphere is great, and it's fantastic to have Joe Root back in the team. The morale is good—we had our moments in the last game but didn’t play well for long enough. Baz is ensuring the players are in a good space.

It's a change of format, and we are looking forward to the game. Playing against a top side like India in these conditions will be a tough test ahead of the Champions Trophy. We are going with three seamers today."
