Birthday boy Rohit Sharma said that Jofra Archer is in the side with Jason Behrendorff and Arjun Tendulkar missing out.

“We played last year as well against the same opposition. It is a good track and looks a little dry to me. We wanted to bowl first, we want a score in front of us. It has been up and down, we have played some good cricket and also lacked consistency. We had a good break and hopefully, we can put up a good performance. We have two changes – Jofra and Arshad Khan are back, in place of Behrendorff and Arjun Tendulkar," Rohit Sharma said at the toss.
