We have been playing really good cricket but not getting over the line. Would like to pack a punch tonight. Marco Jansen comes in for Glenn Phillips."
GT skipper Hardik Pandya said at the toss, "Yeah, it is a special initiative to support cancer patients. We have played really good cricket. Standing in the table does not matter that much, you have to play good cricket. When we started, we knew it would be a tricky year for us. The players have put up their hands in tough situations and put their hands up. It is a fresh wicket, we would have liked to field as well. We have a couple of forced changes.
