Indian skipper Rohit Sharma said that India has one change in their playing XI as KL Rahul has come back in place of Ishan Kishan.
"It is going to be a challenging one, we always wanted to bat first, put the score on the board and today gives us a chance.
"We are not thinking too far ahead at the moment, if we do the things right, we will always do well and get the runs on the board," Sharma said.
