Pitch Report
It is new pitch at the VCA Stadium. The pitch will have good bounce and can expect a 280-300 runs total. The spinners will get assance because of the red soil. India will be tempted to play Varun along with one spin-bowling all-rounder and wr-spinner Kuldeep Yadav.
“Yeah look, he has certainly shown something different. I understand that it is a T20 format but he has clearly got something different about him. So we just wanted to have an option and see what we can do with him,” Rohit said about Varun in the pre-match press conference ahead of the 1st ODI in Nagpur.
“Clearly during the series it presents us an opportunity to play him at some stage and see what he is capable of. Right now we are not thinking about whether we are going to take him or not but definitely he will be in contention. If things plan out really well for us and he does what is required then definitely there is something that we need to think about,” the Indian skipper added.
