Toss Sachin Tendulkar: “We have played every game to win, that’s the frame of mind we will go in with. Back in Mumbai, feels great.” Sunny G says there is less grass than M Chinnaswamy. Anil Kumble says it’s okay, and the pitch seems to have good bounce, so he is not displeased.

Sachin Tendulkar has won the toss, and as expected in a big match, he will bat first. Abhishek Nayar is fit, is a “big-match player”, and is in. Dilhara Fernando is in too, so is Lasith Malinga, ahead of Ryan McLaren. Ambati Rayudu will keep wicket. And JP Duminy has been picked ahead of Dwayne Bravo.

Anil Kumble says it is a good toss to lose, because dew could play a part too. They have brought back Praveen Kumar ahead of Pankaj Singh, and Ross Taylor stays in.
