KL Rahul said this
After losing the toss, captain KL Rahul said that he was not worried about being sent to bat first. The wickets will be equal for both the innings. We were in a good position in the last match. But lost 5 wickets within 40 runs. Once we get a good start we have to make it count. Today is another chance for the boys to prove themselves. This seems to be a much better wicket than the last two matches. There are two changes in the team. Rajat Patidar made his ODI debut. Ruturaj Gaikwad missed out due to some injury in his finger.
