Ahead of the first Test match against South Africa, Team India skipper Shubman Gill said that the playing XI for the series opener will be decided considering the pitch conditions on the game day.
"It`s always this time of the year, there is always a conflict if you want to go for an extra seamer or spinner. That`s why we will see the condition tomorrow and decide on the XI," he said.
