What do captains say?
“Going to have a bowl. Bit of a misunderstanding with the accent there (confusion at the toss). Was dew last night. Hoping it will get skiddy in the second innings. That’s a long way away. Today is a completely new game. Really motivated to put in a good performance. Forced change with Topley being injured. Willey comes in,” Faf du Plessis said after winning the toss.
Meanwhile, Rana stated, “Was looking to bowl as well because of the dew factor. Anukul is replaced by Suyash.”
