Rohit: I don’t think the toss is that important. Having played here for a few years now, I thought having a score in front of us would be a good option. There is some grass covering and we want to exploit it. Rishabh Pant unfortunately misses out, we got out with Karthik. Avesh is the third seamer.
Babar: We wanted to bowl first but that is not in our hand. Three fast bowlers, two spinners and Naseem is making his debut.
