IND vs AUS, Live: Here’s what Rohit Sharma had to say when launching
Pitch has been hidden for a long time, we have to hit well and see where we are. Every match you play for India is a pressure match so you have to stay calm and make the right decisions. We’ve been trying to stay calm during the last few ODI series we’ve played. Two changes. Ishan misses, I go back to him, Shardul misses and Axar comes in. If we win the toss, I think we can do something with the three tops if we throw the ball first.

We will have a bowl. The other surface, covered for a while, can do something. Just a partnership through an intermediary will help us. It was a good lesson for us to play on these surfaces. Ellis took the place of Maxwell, who was already slightly hurt, and Carey returned to Inglis.
