Captain speak:
Darren Sammy (West Indies):
On winning the toss and opting to bowl first: “The wicket looks like it has some moisture in it so we are going to exploit that. [We’ll look to] restrict them to a low total”

Suresh Raina(India):
On batting first: “We have a good team. Hopefully we will put up a good total today. Wicket looks really good.”
On the two new players in the side: “Vinay has been doing well. He has been playing for Karnataka and has done well in first-class cricket. Played couple of games in Zimbabwe and has done well there. Shikhar Dhawan has been batting really well.”
