Durham, July 1: India captain Shreyas Iyer won the toss and elected to bat first in the opening clash of the five-match T20I series against England in Durham on Wednesday.
Shreyas Iyer informed in the interview with Ravi Shastri and said, "Ireland series is history. Pretty decent amount of grass on the wicket. Can't predict how it's going to play, but definitely the intent is going to be high. Going with three spinners."
