Mashrafe Mortaza's Bangladesh cricket team also made two changes in the side. Shabbir Rahman and Rubel Hossain are included in their playing 11.
Virat Kohli- "We are gonna bat first, It's a huge wicket. Last game we experienced that it was getting slower and slower in the second half of the innings and we think it's keep on getting deteriorating as the match progresses. It's good to put runs on board. Looking at the short boundary, one of the wrist spinners is not playing. Kuldeep is not playing , Bhuvneshwar Kumar comes back into the team. Kedar Jadhav misses out, Dinesh Karthik replaces him."
Mashrafe Mortaza- "To be honest, we wanted to bat first as well but against them it’s not a bad idea to bowl first because they love to chase as well. We love to win this do or die match."
