India Vs Bangladesh, 2nd T20I: Rohit Sharma inspects Rajkot pitch ahead of must-win match - Watch

Rajkot, Nov 6: Ahead of the must-win second Twenty20 International against Bangladesh in Rajkot, India stand-in Rohit Sharma was seen inspecting the 22-yard strip. The 31-year-old - who is leading the Indian side in the three-match T20I series after regular captain Virat Kohli was rested - closely assessed the pitch on the eve of the match to prepare his team's strategy for the crucial game.

Team India must be under tremendous pressure as they need to secure a win in Rajkot and keep the series alive against a lower-ranked but dangerous Bangladesh side. Bangladesh outclassed India by 7 wickets in the opening match in Delhi.

"Our batting looks good. So I don't think there's any change we need to make in our batting. But we'll analyze the pitch, and based on that we'll see what we can do as a team," Rohit said on the eve of the match.

While he didn't take names but there is a chance of Shardul Thakur coming in place of Khaleel, whose pace at times is making it easier for the opposition to negotiate at the death overs.

"The (pace-bowling) combination that we played in the last game, it was based on the pitch that was on offer in Delhi. We will see the pitch again today and we will think what we need to do in our bowling line-up," the skipper said.
