After losing the toss against New Zealand in Dubai, India captain Rohit Sharma said ” Was anyway looking to bat first, wanted to see what we could do upfront and then challenge our bowlers since we chased on both games.
Approach will be very similar to the previous games, just trying to do the same things. One change for us – Harshit has been rested, Varun is playing for us. It is all about bowling in partnerships, in both games we have combined to pick 19 wickets. Our spinners have restricted them well and then the seamers have got the wickets”.
