By Saurabh Sharma January 24, 2020 • 12:21 PM View: 1044

Auckland, Jan 24: India skipper Virat Kohli on Friday won the toss and elected to field in the first T20I of the five-match series against New Zealand at the Eden Park.

"We're going to have a bowl first. It looks a nice pitch to bat on. It might be hard to pick the ball up initially due to twilight. We're pretty much fine (from the travel) but we're fine now. We've played 50-over cricket (heading to this series) and are ready for T20 cricket," said Kohli.
