IND Vs SA: Captains' Quotes

Rohit Sharma (India Captain): "We are going to bat first. Looks a good pitch. The totals have been good here. It's just about understanding individual roles. It's important to stay calm. We will be playing against an international team. But we have to stay calm."

Aiden Markram (South Africa Captain): "Yeah, definitely, we would have batted first as well. Looks on the drier side. Having said that, we get the first crack with the ball. We will try to extract something from it early and put them under pressure. "
