The man has put in the hard yards and has been consistent for a couple of seasons. Let's see how his debut pans out. As far as the match was concerned, India won the toss and Rohit Sharma opted to bat first.

"We are gonna bat first. Looks like a good wicket. Good pitch, the sun is out, better to bat first. Recovered pretty well, and had a couple of hits before getting into this game. We know the scheduling, we got to have the understanding. We are making him (Arshdeep) play, the other guys will have their chance. Arshdeep has done well in the IPL, and looks an exciting prospect", said Rohit.
