Both the teams have made a couple of changes in the squads for the game.

Gujarat captain Suresh Raina said: “We practiced last evening. It’s (The pitch) not going to change much as Zak said. I think its about taking responsibility in the first 6 overs. Ishan Kishan is in for Jakati and Faulkner in for Finch. Close to 170 will be a good total I reckon. The bowlers have to execute their plans well.”

Home skipper Zaheer Khan said: “We gonna bowl first. We are just going with the trend. We all know how threatening they can be and hence we are going with an extra spinner. They have an extra left-hander and that’s because we have 3 spinners in our side. Nadeem and Pant come in for Shami and Iyer. As I spoke about specific plans, that’s part of it.”
