Presenter Deep Dasgupta welcomed the captains, Rishabh Pant and Axar Patel, as well as the match referee and toss representative at the toss, and asked for the coin to be handed to the home captain.

Impact Player - we decide based on the match situation - Axar Patel
"We'll bowl. Red soil wicket and there was dew in the last game as well. If we bowl well, we can restrict them."
"We focused on what we did right and areas where we can improve. We aren't thinking too much. We've been part of a couple of close matches.
The way this wicket is playing, it stops a bit in the first innings - Rishabh Pant
Rishabh Pant spoke to the presenter next and revealed that they also wanted to bowl first because the pitch gets better as the innings progresses. He said:
Rishabh Pant further revealed that his hand is fine, and he also talked about the batting plans. He elaborated:
"Hand is okay. (Things to keep in mind while batting first) It's going to be on the slower side, but gradually it gets better and better as you keep on batting. So not losing too many wickets that's the only thing to keep in mind, and just playing according to the situation. As a team, we don't think about what's happening around us. We are just focusing on where we can improve. We are playing with the same team."
