Strike first OR bowler and bowling end first

[Mayur Wankhade Deshmukh]

This was from my field experience.

Both the batsmen come to bat near square but neither was taking strike as they were waiting for the decision from fielding side of which bowler and from which end will start bowling.
Fielding side chose the end but not the bowler, in fact they were waiting for which batsmen is going to take strike.

We requested fielding side that who is going to start the bowling, luckily fielding captain accepted the request and chose his bowler.

what if, he would have not chosen his bowler and asked umpire about who is taking striker and on other hand both batsmen would not have decided who is taking strike and asked umpires about who is bowling first over ?

Does winner of the toss would have been given precedence in such case ? Let me know your view.

All of this is taking place before you call Play. As long as it doesn't unduly delay proceeding towards commencing the match I see no problem in either side changing their minds—but you wouldn't let the situation become farcical. As to the question of precedence, there is no such thing. The toss has nothing to do with it—that only entitles the winner to choose whether to bat or bowl first. The fielding captain is responsible for choosing which end to commence from, and with which bowler. The batsmen at the wicket can choose which of them will face the first ball, the only proviso being that one of them should be ready to face up when the bowler is ready to bowl (Law 42.10). At that point you will call Play.

Agree it's nothing to do with the toss.

Apart from telling both sides to grow up, I'd decide that, in line with normal practice, the fielding side should decide who's to bowl the first over, and the batsmen can then decide who's facing the first delivery. The point isn't explicitly covered in the Laws but it's certainly in line with Law 43 to do things that way around.

Might be interesting if the batting side sent 3 (or more) potential batsmen out to the middle waiting to see who was going to bowl...
