IPL 2024: GT vs PBKS, Match 17: Who said what at the toss?

Shikhar Dhawan, PBKS captain: We are gonna bowl first, I feel it’s a good wicket and it will stay the same, we will prefer chasing. I don’t think every game is gonna be like that, we will score runs. I think we are playing decent cricket, it’s early days in the tournament, we are going to play better. Livi goes out and Sikandar Raza comes into the side.

Shubman Gill, GT captain: We would have bowled, it looks like an even wicket, it’s been a bit overcast so hopefully there will be no dew. We have started off pretty well, we have got couple of games on the road after this, games on the road are important. Last year, we played away from home. Miller misses out due to a niggle and Kane comes into the side.
