'We were looking to bat first' - Rohit Sharma
"We were looking to bat first. Nice and sunny as well. Pitch will get slower as the match goes on, so okay with batting first. One change: Shardul has pulled up a niggle - a groin issue, it brings Mukesh on for a debut. Lots of memories from the rivalry, especially our batters trying to put their hands up against great fast bowlers. Even now you have to work hard to get a result, especially the batters. Scoring isn't easy. We got a lot of positives and hope to get the right result," Indian captain said after losing toss.
