Rohit Sharma took his duty back from a successful friend Shikhar Dhawan who was able to lead the blues for a ‘whitewashed win’ against the same country.
It is now time for Rohit Sharma and company to finish off the fierce cricket of blues against the Windies.
West Indies won the toss and opted to field first.
Rohit: Ready to go. Good to have some time off. Pretty excited to get back and get things underway. First international game being played here, good to see the fans coming in large numbers.
