BCCI acting secretary Amitabh Choudhary said that several factors had been taken into consideration before deciding the venue for the historic match.
"There will be rains almost everywhere in India at that time of the year. The regions which will not have rain will be so hot that playing cricket will be practically impossible during the day time hours. Considering all factors, Bengaluru was the best choice," Choudhary told reporters.
