Rohit Sharma has won the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, and the hosts are batting first in the third Test in Indore.
“It is a dry pitch but we will have to play like Nagpur and Delhi as we haven’t qualified for the final of the World Test Championship (WTC). Mohammed Shami and KL Rahul are out with Umesh Yadav and Shubman Gill in,” said Rohit Sharma.
“Guys had time to reflect on the last two defeats in the series. We need to stick to our plans for a long time. Mitchell Starc and Cameron Green are playing in place of Pat Cummins and David Warner,” said Steve Smith.
