India 32-1 after 6 Overs

I jinxed it, almost!

Rohit goes for another big shot on the leg-side, but Pringles makes a mess of an easy chance at mid-on. Should have snaffled it. The bowler, Fred Klaasen, couldn't believe it. 

Btw, on the ball tracking for KL Rahul, as I suspected Rahul should have taken the review. Looked like it was sliding down leg and it was indeed missing the stumps. 

After a six off the last ball of the over, Rohit sends one crashing through the backward point region. 

Like Ravi Shastri would have said, it went like a tracer bullet. Looking in great touch. 

Even though he played three dots afterwards, Rohit is timing them so well.

KL Rahul's poor run continues. Paul van Meekeren picks up a wicket in his very first over. 

It was a fullish delivery tailing in on leg, Rahul misses the flick and the umpire raised his finger the moment the bowler started appealing.

Has bowled a good first 4 balls, just 2 singles off it. And that's all that come off it, with two dots off the final 2 deliveries

A hint of inswing on this very full first ball, KL Rahul turns it straight to mid-wicket.

KL Rahul gets off the mark with a lovely boundary, an off-drive which beats a diving mid-off to his right. 

He follows it up with a wristly shot through the mid-wicket region for a couple.

7 runs come off the first over. Pitch looking really flat. Apart from that first ball, nothing moved for Klaasen there.

It's always a proud moment for the Men in Blue when they are singing the national anthem in front of a packed crowd. Hardik Pandya walks off but not before giving a couple of kids autographs.

Rohit, Rahul ready near the boundary line.
