“We gotta play good cricket and come out on top.” - Rohit Sharma
After the toss, Rohit confirmed that Ravichandran Ashwin had not been included in the playing XI while he shared the importance of adding Ajinkya Rahane. Rohit said: "We are gonna bowl. Just the conditions and also its a bit overcast as well. We gotta play good cricket and come out on top. We got 4 seamers and 1 spinner that is Ravindra Jadeja.”
“Its always been tough as Ashwin has been such a match winner for us over the years and leaving him on such an occasion has been a tough decision but you got to do the things that is needed for the team and eventually we came up with that decision. Ajinkya Rahane brings a lot to the table for us. A lot of experience playing in these conditions. He has done well for the team playing 80 odd Test matches. Yes he has been out for a while but the experience he has, can change all of that," he concluded. However, India made a solid start by taking the wicket of Usman Khawaja for a duck off 10 balls. But, after that, David Warner and Marnus Labuschagne stabled the innings as Australia reached 55 runs for one wicket in 17 overs.
Here is how fans have reacted to the viral video:
