Toss and Team:
New Zealand chose bowling. They may have hit first in favorable batting conditions. India opted for Umran and Chahar, withdrawing Shami and Siraj.
Rohit Sharma | Indian Captain:
I would have hit first because I want to come out as a team and play well. It’s a great ground to play on and I’ve had good results every time I’ve been here. It’s important to give the rookies who haven’t played yet a chance and see how they do. His two replacements will be Shami and Siraj, and Umran and Chahal.
