Chinnaswamy Stadium Promotion Report: India captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to bat first at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, a rather surprising move as the first day’s play was called off due to rain. Therefore, there is always cover on the field. In this situation, it is believed that whichever captain wins the toss will decide to bowl first.
Because conditions look favorable for fast bowlers. It was believed that if Rohit Sharma had won the toss, he would have decided to bowl first, but he won the toss and chose to bat first, and his decision backfired.
In the initial overs, New Zealand’s fast bowlers dominated and India lost 3 wickets in just 10 overs. Rohit Sharma (2), Virat Kohli (0) and Sarfaraz Khan (0) were all dismissed cheaply. India’s score was 9-0 at one point, but by the time the score reached 10, three wickets had fallen.
Tom Latham senses wicket atmosphere
After winning the toss, India captain Rohit Sharma elected to bat first. Meanwhile, New Zealand captain Tom Latham realized that Chinnaswamy’s bowling would help the fast bowlers.
Tom won the toss and said – The wicket was covered so hopefully we can make good use of it at the start, the weather was a bit bad. Along with Ajaz Patel, we have three fast bowlers and two all-rounders who bowl spin. On the other hand, New Zealand’s Matt Henry, Tim Southee and William O’Rourke bowled brilliantly and shared the first three Wickets.
