"I forgot what we wanted to do, had plenty of discussions with the team about the toss decision, just wanted to challenge ourselves under difficult conditions, but we'll bowl first. Was a good test for us, knowing that the wicket will get better to bat on and that was the challenge in front of us," said the Indian skipper at the time of the toss with a smile.

Although, Rohit's indecision at the toss didn't affect India much as the hosts went on to win the match and the series by bowling the visitors out for 108 runs and chasing the target with eight wickets in hand. The Indian opener scored 51 off 50 deliveries and was accompanied by Shubman Gill who remained unbeaten on 40 off 53 deliveries and finished the game with a boundary.

Reflecting on his team's performance after the match, Rohit said, "The last five games, bowlers have really stepped up. Whatever we have asked of them, they have stepped up and delivered. You don't usually see this type of seam movement in India, you generally see it outside India.

These guys have some serious skills, they work really hard and it's great to see them being rewarded. We trained yesterday and the ball was nipping around under lights. We knew that if they had 250 or so, it might have been challenging for us but that was the point of opting to chase. We batted first last game, so the idea was to challenge ourselves."
