“I forgot what we wanted to do, had plenty of discussions with the team about the toss decision, just wanted to challenge ourselves under difficult conditions, but we’ll bowl first. Was a good test for us, knowing that the wicket will get better to bat on and that was the challenge in front of us,” Rohit had stated on the time of toss, with a smile on his face.
Seeing Rohit scratch his head in the course of the time he wasn’t in a position to determine whether or not the choice was to bowl first or bat, the likes of Shami, Siraj and Chahal had been warming up proper within the line of the digital camera.

India secured a thumping 8-wicket victory over New Zealand after bundling out the guests for simply 108 runs. Shubman Gill (40 not-out) and Rohit Sharma (51) had been the top-scoring batters within the group.
At the top of the match, Rohit mirrored on his facet’s efficiency, saying: “The last five games, bowlers have really stepped up. Whatever we have asked of them, they have stepped up and delivered. You don’t usually see this type of seam movement in India, you generally see it outside India. These guys have some serious skills, they work really hard and it’s great to see them being rewarded. We trained yesterday and the ball was nipping around under lights. We knew that if they had 250 or so, it might have been challenging for us but that was the point of opting to chase. We batted first last game, so the idea was to challenge ourselves.”
With a 2-0 lead underneath their belt, India have already sealed the destiny of the sequence. In all likeliness, just a few adjustments may very well be made within the taking part in XI for the ultimate match.
