EPIC! 46 journalists have come across to cover this Test series.
Mushfiqur Rahim, Bangladesh Cricket team captain, quotes: "A great moment for Bangladesh cricket and hopefully, we would put up a good performance against the number one team in the world. We learned a couple of things from the last match, a couple of mistakes cost us the game against NZ. We have to keep our momentum up for all five days and we learned some key lessons out there. The wicket would be pretty good for the first two days and the bowlers will come in later. We are going in with two quicks, two spinners, and seven batsmen."
After winning the toss scene: Captain Virat Kohli says: "We would like to bat first. Hyderabad has always been a good batting wicket. It is hard and the fast bowlers do get some help out here. For us the opposition is not something we focus on, we focus on executing our skills and we would like to go ahead with the same mindset. We are playing with five bowlers and unfortunately, Karun misses out."
09:02 IST: India has won the toss and chose to bat.
