Toss Report:
Team India is facing Ireland in their first match of the tournament hoping for a positive start. Initially, Team India’s skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to bowl first. After winning the toss, he said, “We’re going to bowl. Preparations have been alright. Have been managing ourselves in these new conditions. Has been challenging but we are all professionals.”
Later he added, “We played on a similar pitch and do know what to expect a little bit. I know it’s going to be slightly different from what we’re used to. But that’s what the sport is. Not sure about the conditions too much, so thought having a target in front of us would be good. Guys missing out are Kuldeep, Sanju, Jaiswal and one more.”
