New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson, after winning the toss, has asked India to bat first in the series-decider on Tuesday. Kohli, later on, also said that he was also looking to bowl first in the third T20I.
This is a winner-takes-all contest with the series tied at 1-1, which makes the final and the third T20I even more entertaining in Thiruvananthapuram.
