India (Playing XI) - Rohit Sharma (C), Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (WK), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammad Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal, Prasidh Krishna.
We would have done the same thing, we would have bowled first. I am learning a lot about myself, and about my role. Looking forward to the ODI series, it has been a learning experience. It's great to welcome those guys back. They (Root, Bairstow, Stokes) are few of the best players in the world. There are a lot of selfless guys in the team, that will be exactly the same today.
England skipper Jos Buttler
Jos Buttler the skipper of England says they would have looked to bowl but it is expected to be a good wicket throughout the day. States captaincy has been a great learning experience and he is looking forward to the ODI series now. Adds it is great to welcome a few players who have been in excellent form. Names his XI and informs Joe Root will bat at three.
We are going to bowl first. There is some grass cover and it's overcast as well. I guess the sun will be out in sometime. We want to have a score in front of us. Shami, Bumrah - those guys can swing the ball. It's important to take wickets upfront and put brakes on the scoring. We understand the importance of playing overseas, we want to do well outside India. Today is no different. We have five batters, two all-rounders. Kohli is not playing this game, Shreyas will bat at 3.

Rohit Sharma the captain of India says they want to bowl first.

Says they always want to do well when traveling and they are looking forward to the challenge. Informs Virat Kohli will miss this game and Iyer will bat at three.
TOSS - India have won the toss and they have elected to BOWL first.
Suryakumar Yadav is down for a chat. He says that he is really happy with how things went in the T20Is. Mentions that there was a slight opportunity to take the team over the line in the last T20I, it was a close game but good learning for him going forward. Adds that he was really happy with that knock and he wants to play fearless cricket and express himself.
I think am really happy with how things went about in the T20Is. There was a slight opportunity to take the team across the line (in the third T20I), it was very close, but a good learning for me going forward. It was important to take that positive road, I wasn't thinking about anything else. I wanted to be fearless, really happy with that knock.
