At the toss, Virat Kohli said, "I think it's a great wicket to score runs. We have been tentative while batting first. T20 cricket goes that way. We were about 15 runs short (in the last game). Fielding is an important part in this format. If we had taken our chances, things could have been different."
West Indies skipper Kieron Pollard said, "We're gonna field first. Obviously here, dew plays a factor when you bat second. It's a new wicket, hopefully we can restrict them to a chaseable total. I think it was a good performance (in the last game). We're always looking to improve and there are a couple of areas to improve on. It's a fresh wicket and hopefully, our guys can make use of it with the new ball. We're unchanged."
The ongoing three-match T20I series between India and West Indies is tied at 1-1. Virat Kohli-led outfit won the first T20I by six wickets and then in the second T20I West Indies bounced back and thrashed India by eight wickets.
