Rohit, Rahul rally India after early wickets

August 27, 2016 21:59

India 96-2 (8 ovs) vs WI 245-6 | Scorecard

Captain Carlos Brathwaite brings himself into the attack, to bowl the seventh over.

Three singles from the first three balls before Rahul carves it over short thirdman for two runs.

Brathwaite offers some width as Rahul plays another stylish shot through point for a four before driving the next through the covers for another boundary.

Intelligent batting from Rohit as he taps Narine to the vacant midwicket region and rushes back for the second.

He then takes on the mystery spinner, hitting him for back to back sixes through long-on and midwicket respectively to keep India's run rate on track in this huge chase.

Narine has suffered, going for 32 runs in two overs, with India recovering to 96 for two in eight overs.

Rahul is off the blocks in smashing fashion, hitting his way to 31 from just 13 balls, hitting four fours and a six, while Rohit has smashed 42 from 19 balls.
