Virat Kohli, as usual, was unlucky with the toss and India shook up the batting lineup at the top owing to the injury of Suryakumar Yadav who remained at the hotel due to a back spasm. Ishan Kishan and KL Rahul opened the innings for India, but very soon the left-hander made way to the pavilion. Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul followed.
