Hello,

My question is that we have to choose a service or side during the toss. There is a benefit of choosing a service but what is the benefit of choosing a side?

Hi Dimple,

There isn't much benefit usually.  Sometimes the background might be better from one end or you may want to be closer to your coach or facing your coach as a preference.
