Here's what the Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan and India captain Rohit Sharma said during the IND vs PAK toss:

Mohammad Rizwan: Will bat first, looks like a good surface. Want to put up a good target. Every match is important in ICC events, we will keep things normal. The boys are familiar with these conditions, we have done well here and we want to do our best today. We lost our last game, but it is past for us now. One change - Fakhar is out, Imam is in.

Rohit Sharma: Doesn't really matter (what he would've chosen if he had won the toss), they won the toss so we'll bowl first. Looks similar to the last game, the surface is on the slower side. We have an experienced unit in batting so we know what we need to do if the pitches get slower. Need an overall performance from the team - with bat and ball. The last game wasn't an easy one for us, which is always nice. You want to be under pressure and test yourself. We are playing the same team.
