Toss Decision – Captain’s Comments & Reasoning

“We will bowl first as it is a good wicket. It is good to have a total in front of you and chase it down.

Our matches went to the wire, and the last game gave us relief. We have been consistent, and it is an important factor for me. A team that shows consistency over the course of 14 matches stands a chance to make it to the playoffs,” Shubman Gill said.

LSG skipper Rishabh Pant is not worried after losing the toss.

“Batting first or bowling doesn’t matter. We were looking to bowl first. Every win is important, and when you win a close game, it shows the character of the team. The record doesn’t matter, as you have to give your best. We always talk about intent, and it is nice to show it when we are on the field,” he said.
