India are facing Australia for an epic series of Border Gavaskar Trophy 2023.
Australian captain Pat Cummins have won the toss and opted to bat first in the significant starter game of this epic series.
“We are going to bat. Looks like a pretty even wicket towards the middle. 2017 was a big series. Can’t wait to get this started. We have had good preparation. We feel we are really well placed.”
Indian captain Rohit Sharma stated that he too hoped to bat first as the pitch looks good to bat.
“We would have batted too. Looks pretty dry. There will be help for spinners. We got to wait and see how much it does. Yesterday when we started training we did see some seam movement for the pacers up front. We have had a good prep for the last 5-6 days. We trained on the aspects in store. This is a big one. We know the importance of the series but we also understand it’s about winning one session at a time. It’s a long series.”
