After winning the toss against Rohit Sharma, Afghanistan Captain Hashmatullah Shahidi said, "We will bat first. It looks like a good batting surface. We have a good bowling attack to restrict them. It looks like a good surface, we want to bounce back with the bat. We are enjoying, a good chance to showcase our talent. We are going with the same team."

While, Indian Captain Rohit Sharma said, "We were looking to bat second. We saw the amount of dew last evening. Don't think the wicket will change much. Need to bowl well and need to come back and bat better.

"We were under pressure to start with, but KL and Kohli batted well, we take a lot of pride. It was a good game for us, hopefully, we can repeat that and keep the momentum going forward. Ashwin misses out, Shardul Thakur comes in for him."
