That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
After the toss, the umpires become responsible for the use and maintenance of the pitch. This means that they are in charge of ensuring that the pitch is in good condition for play and that any necessary repairs or maintenance are carried out. They will also make decisions regarding the suitability of the pitch for play, such as if it becomes dangerous or unfit for play due to weather conditions or other factors. This responsibility begins after the toss, when the teams have decided which side will bat first.
