Virat Kohli said he would have also liked to bowl. Virat will be looking to his openers to provide a strong start to reduce the pressure on a new-look middle-order. Given that India's bowlers have been taken for plenty in recent matches, the batsmen know they will need to put up a big score. India made one change to their line-up, replacing the wayward quick Varun Aaron with allrounder Stuart Binny. This will be Binny's second ODI, and he will be hoping to be a less peripheral figure than he was on debut, when he got to bowl just one over and didn't get to bat.
