2. Rohit and Rahane give India a solid start
Rohit Sharma had a new batting partner for this game in Ajinkya Rahane, and the two gelled along immediately, as they put up a 62-run opening stand.
Rohit, who was cautious initially, opened up towards the second half of the powerplay and struck some big hits. But before he could fully flourish, he was dismissed by Samuel Badree, who trapped the Indian opener leg-before-wicket.
