What Captains Said At Toss?
Rishabh Pant (LSG Captain): We have decided to bowl first because we believe it is the right choice. We're uncertain about how the pitch will behave, but it seems like it might slow down a bit. Although the surface looks a little loose on top, it still appears to be a good wicket. We anticipate an exciting match ahead. By bowling first, we hope to gain an advantage and see how the game unfolds, which is the kind of edge we were aiming for. Our goal is to keep things simple more often. It's important to encourage conversation, especially when we're facing challenges. It's also great to see younger players stepping up.
Shreyas Iyer (PBKS Captain): We would have opted to bowl first as well. The wicket was covered for a while, and it was pouring yesterday and the day before. It had moisture from being under the sheets, and the grass is thicker. I don’t want to predict how the wicket will perform. We are ready for the competition. We need to focus on the positives from the game; we can’t dwell on how poorly we performed in a particular match, as that can haunt us. We need to stay in high spirits, keep motivating each other, and enjoy each other라이브 바카라 successes. That's the culture and camaraderie within the team. We need to keep things simple. I know it's tough, but that's our mantra. Stoinis is coming in.
