Hardik Pandya at Toss: We would have bowled first. This is fantastic to see so may people coming to support us. We have the opportunity to be a hero and this is the time for us.

People of Gujarat are very loyal, very excited for it. We have one change – Lockie Ferguson comes in place of Alzarri Joseph.

Sanju Samson at Toss: We will bat first. Looks like a good wicket, a bit dry and that’s why we’ll bat first, it’s a used wicket and might help our spinners in the second innings. We’re all positive and excited. Playing in front of this crowd is exciting. Same team for us
