Yashasvi Jaiswal received his maiden ODI cap from the captain Rohit Sharma, while Harshit Rana was presented his cap by the senior pacer Mohammed Shami in Nagpur.
Rohit Sharma said at the toss: “We wanted to bowl first, but it doesn’t matter a lot. Need to be aggressive with the ball at the start and then need to do well later. Nice to get some time off, it’s a fresh start and this is a great chance to do well. It’s very important to get some gametime, try and maximize whatever opportunity we have. Jaiswal and Harshit are making their debuts, unfortunately Virat isn’t playing, he had a knee problem last night.”
