Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill has won the toss and has decided to bowl first against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their Indian Premier League game at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
"We are going to bowl first. The surface gives swing in the first 4-5 overs. Want to chase in case there is dew. These two games will determine how far we go in the tournament. They are playing some good cricket, they are the defending champions. The mood is nice and light. It's about having the right attitude. Same team as the last game," Gill said.
RCB captain Rajat Patidar said: "We were looking to field first. I don't think the grass cover will help much. Hope we put up a good total on the board. The way we played the first half of IPL, that was good to see. It's a positive sign for us, we are looking forward to it. We're playing with the same team."
