While speaking at the toss Rohit Sharma said, “We will bowl first. It has played better in the last two games, but you need to assess the conditions quickly and then let the game take over. It’s all about constantly getting better and keeping the momentum going. It’s important to do the right things. That was a great game to play, we didn’t have enough runs on the board, but the bowlers came to the party and won the game for us. We’re playing the same team.”
Meanwhile, Aaron Jones said, “We would have bowled first as well, there’s some help for the bowlers early. (On Monank Patel) He’s having a niggle and should be back quickly. It should be a good game and we’re looking to play well. The camp is very positive, just looking to play some good cricket. Shayan Jahangir replaces Monank and Shadley is in for Nosthush.”
US vs IND Pitch Report
Many more runs than scored so far on the drop-in pitches here in NY. If India were to bat first, a healthy total of over 160 is an eminent possibility with Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and other Indian batters looking for runs. The match will also be a test for the USA team as they will be up against a mighty opposition.
