What did Rohit Sharma say after the toss?
After the toss, Indian captain Rohit Sharma said, “Chasing is okay. We know what to expect when we chase. This has to be done. You cannot always play with the same mindset and in the same way. You have to first adapt to the conditions and then play freely. This is the most important thing (playing with freedom) that we want to do as a team.
