“I would have done that too (bowl first). The pitch is a bit soft. It will be challenging conditions. We have prepared well, so we should play to our potential and play the way we know how. If you look at the 10 Test matches, every game is important. But we want to focus on what is ahead. We came here a week ago and had a good preparation. Three seamers and two spinners – Bumrah, Akash Deep, Siraj, Ashwin and Jadeja.”

It's a very different day to what we're used to in Chennai – right now it's still very cool at 28 degrees, but as the day goes on it will be 33-34 degrees, so like the Chennai we all know. As for the pitch, it's a red soil pitch. And what does red soil mean – it bounces, it spins and as the game goes on the big spinners come into play. They've left a little bit of residual moisture under the pitch. So the fast bowlers will have their say at the start.
