IND vs BAN, Test Day 1 1 Live: Here's what Rohit Sharma said at the toss

“That's what I would have done (bowled first). A bit soft, the pitch. It's going to be challenging conditions. We've prepared well, so we have to play to our potential and play as we know how. If we look at the 10 Test matches, every match is important. But we want to focus on what's ahead. We came here a week ago, we had a good preparation. Three seamers and two spinners – Bumrah, Akash Deep, Siraj, Ashwin and Jadeja.”

It’s a very different day to what we’re used to in Chennai – currently very cool at 28 degrees, but as the day progresses it promises to be 33-34, which will be similar to the Chennai we all know. If we talk about the pitch, it’s a red soil pitch. And what does red soil mean – bounce, spin and as the match progresses, the big spinners come into play. They’ve left a bit of residual moisture under the pitch. So the fast bowlers will have their say at the beginning.
