Rahul, Rohit give India a flying start
January 29, 2020
Southee does well to pitch it up and closer to the stumps as Rahul defends the first ball and then taps the next on the off-side for a single.
Rohit looks in the mood as he slaps the next ball through the covers for a couple before taking one next ball.
Southee goes short and aims for the body but Rahul manages to play a cracking ramp shot which goes straight over the wicketkeeper for a four and then keeps strike with a single from the last ball.
Scott Kuggeleijn comes into the attack. He starts with a short ball as Rahul somehow manages to swat it awkwardly for a single. The next ball is pitched up and bounces a bit more as Rohit looking for the drive gets the edge which goes through the vacant slip region for a four.
Rohit then runs the third ball to thirdman for one followed by two singles off the last two balls as India race to 34 for no loss in four overs.
