Rohit would ‘love’ to play Test series against Pakistan in neutral venue
Bilateral cricket between India and Pakistan has been put on hold since Misbah-ul-Haq’s team last toured India to play a three-match ODI series way back in 2012-13.
India were 55 without the loss of any wicket in the first 10 overs of the second ODI of the three-match series against Australia at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot.
Opener Rohit Sharma was unbeaten on 26 along with partner Shikhar Dhawan was playing on 27. Both the players had played 30 balls each.
Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc conceded 20 runs each in their 5 overs and 3 overs, respectively.

Earlier on Friday, Australia captain Aaron Finch, who led Australia to a 10-wicket win over India in the first ODI, won the toss and elected to bowl first in the second match as well.
Australia are playing with the same XI that featured in the last match, whereas India have made two changes in their squad. Rishabh Pant misses after he got a concussion during the first match. The other one to sit out is Shardul Thakur, who has been replaced by speedster Navdeep Saini.
Here are the Playing XIs of both the teams:
India: Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli (captain), Lokesh Rahul (wicketkeeper), Shreyas Iyer, Manish Pandey, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Navdeep Saini, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah.
Australia: David Warner, Aaron Finch (captain), Marnus Labuschagne, Steven Smith, Ashton Turner, Alex Carey (wicketkeeper), Ashton Agar, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Kane Richardson, Adam Zampa
