“Bracewell batted well, but we bowled well in the end and won the game. There was a bit of dew during the practice sessions, but we’ve heard from the curator that it will not play a role on game days. We batted first in Hyderabad, we wanted to bowl first here, same team” Rohit Added.
Watch: Rohit Sharma was unsure whether to bat or bowl for a time.

There were runs galore in Hyderabad, with Michael Bracewell almost matching Shubham Gill’s double century. Bracewell gave India a reality check after having the visitors on the ropes, as the left-hander nearly pulled off a miraculous victory.
A double hundred, a hundred, and a fifty were scored for a total of 686 runs, and the bowlers, with the exception of Mohammed Siraj, were in hiding for naught. The series now shifts to Raipur, which will host its first-ever One Day International. India will be trying for a series win, while the visitors will be hoping to keep the series alive.
India (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma(c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Ishan Kishan(w), Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj
