All in readiness for the play to begin! The umpires and the Indian players are already out in the middle. Devon Conway and Finn Allen are the openers for New Zealand. And, as seen in recent times, skipper Hardik Pandya will take the new ball. Let's play...

Washington Sundar is in for a quick chat. He says that there are different plans for different batters but he focuses on keeping things simple. Adds that in the Powerplay there are two fielders outside and tries to bowl according to his field. Tells that he has worked on his batting in the last year or so and is able to get more information as he is batting in various situations.

Hardik Pandya, the captain of India says that would have batted first as well but says bowling is also fine. Adds that this is a new team and they are learning from these games. Tells that it cannot get difficult than this in a bilateral series. Mentions that they need to improve as a bowling unit and do the basic rights and try to enjoy the game as much as possible. Informs that Yuzvendra Chahal is playing and 'Kul-Cha' is back together after a long time.

Mitchell Santner, the skipper of New Zealand says that they will have a bat first as the stats suggest it is difficult to chase here. Adds that after the ODI series, it was good to get a win. Mentions that it is never easy beating India at home and the best way to slow them down is by taking wickets. Adds that yes, it is a big ground and will look to use the dimensions well. Informs that they have gone with the same playing XI.

India (Playing XI) - Ishan Kishan (WK), Shubman Gill, Rahul Tripathi, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya (C), Deepak Hooda, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Shivam Mavi, Yuzvendra Chahal (In for Umran Malik), Arshdeep Singh.

New Zealand (Unchanged Playing XI) - Finn Allen, Devon Conway (WK), Mark Chapman, Glenn Phillips, Daryl Mitchell, Michael Bracewell, Mitchell Santner (C), Ish Sodhi, Jacob Duffy, Lockie Ferguson, Blair Tickner.

TOSS - The coin goes up and lands in favour of Mitchell Santner. New Zealand have elected to BAT first.

PITCH REPORT - Danny Morrison is pitchside. He says that it is one of the bigger grounds going around in India and says that it is 76 meters straight. Ajit Agarkar joins him and says that there's a tacky look to it and there's red soil underneath which means there will be some purchase for the spinners. Mentions that the side batting second will be hoping for a bit of dew as it is the easiest pitch for batting.
