After winning the toss, Mohammad Riwan chose to bat first. However, after talking to Rizwa, Shastri turned to Rohit Sharma and asked him what he had decided.
Due to an injury to opener Fakhar Zaman, Rizwan announced one alteration to the starting lineup. Imam Ul Haq, who was not on the original team, took his spot. Following their chat, Shastri questioned Rohit about his choice. The India captain responded that it “doesn’t really matter” after handling the veteran’s gaffe.
“What have you decided?” Ravi Shastri said.
Rohit says “Doesn’t really matter, they won the toss so we’ll bowl first.”
We didn’t have an easy game last time: Rohit
The run of Rohit Sharma losing the toss went on. However, the opening batsman for India claimed that the field resembled the one used in their last match against Bangladesh. He also mentioned Bangladesh, who fought hard and helped the squad get off to a strong start in the competition. However, Fakhar Zaman was injured in the previous game, therefore Pakistan was unable to use him.
“The surface is a little slower, and it looks like the last game. We have a batting unit with expertise, so we know what to do if the pitches slow down. The squad must perform well both with the bat and the ball. We didn’t have an easy game last time, which is usually good. You want to put yourself to the test and be under pressure. Rohit remarked, “We are playing the same team.”
It appears to be a good surface, so I’ll bat first. wish to present a strong target. In ICC events, every match matters, therefore we’ll continue as usual. We have performed well here, the boys are accustomed to these conditions, and we aim to give it our all today. Although we lost our most recent game, it is now behind us. “Imam is in, Fakhar is out,” Rizwan disclosed.
