Players’
Comments

Sanju
Samson,
RR
Captain:
“We
will
bat
first.
Looks
like
a
good
wicket,
a
bit
dry
and
that’s
why
we’ll
bat
first,
it’s
a
used
wicket
and
might
help
our
spinners
in
the
second
innings.
We’re
all
positive
and
excited.
Playing
in
front
of
this
crowd
is
exciting.
Same
team
for
us.”

Hardik
Pandya,
GT
captain:
“We
would
have
bowled
first.
This
is
fantastic
to
see
so
may
people
coming
to
support
us.
We
have
the
opportunity
to
be
a
hero
and
this
is
the
time
for
us.
It
does
help
(qualifying
early
and
having
a
break),
calms
your
nerves
down,
we
have
focussed
as
a
group,
be
as
normal
as
possible
and
play
our
‘A’ game.
People
of
Gujarat
are
very
loyal,
very
excited
for
it.
We
have
one
change
–

Lockie
Ferguson
comes
in
place
of
Alzarri
Joseph.”

Pitch
report

Simon
Doull
to
Star
Sports:
“The
bounce
is
a
bit
higher
here,
sticking
onto
the
surface
a
little
bit.
Bowlers
who
can
hit
the
deck
hard,
bowl
that
back
of
a
length
can
cause
trouble
to
the
batters,
the
dimensions
are
pretty
much
the
same,
although
one
side
is
slightly
shorter.
Teams
that
have
batted
first
have
won
the
final
9
times,
win
the
toss,
bat
first
and
put
up
something
around
180-190.”
