“Very important Test series. We have never won a series here. It’s a big opportunity for us. We came close the last two times. That gives us a lot of excitement and encouragement to do our best” – Rohit during pre-match press conference.

“Our seamers have done well in Australia, England and South Africa. The seamers have actually pull their weight in. Shami will be a big miss,” he added further.
