Adds it is all about learning. Tells, the training has been going well. Mentions, he isn't much sure if he will don the gloves in the match and it will be a surprise for all of us.

PITCH REPORT - Matthew Hayden is near the pitch, He says that it looks like another good track to bat on and it could be a high-scoring game. Tells that there is some grass on it and it will help the pace bowlers initially.

Mayank Agarwal, the skipper of Punjab, says that they would have bowled first as well. Adds, they did bat well in their last game and they would be looking to repeat the same. Informs that they have one change, Jonny Bairstow comes in for Bhanuka Rajapaksa.

Hardik Pandya, the skipper of Gujarat, says they will bowl first because dew might play a factor in the latter part of the game. Says, the boys showed a lot of courage by the way they pulled things back in the last game. Says, there are two forced changes that give opportunities to two debutants, Sai Sudharsan and Darshan Nalkande.

Punjab too, has some genuine match-winners in their ranks and they will look to give it their all and hand Gujarat their first loss of the season. Lots of things to look forward to in this exciting clash and it promises to be a cracker. Stay tuned for toss and further updates.
