India captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to bat first against England in the first T20I of the three-match series, here on Thursday. Left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh is making his India debut from this game and skipper Rohit called him an exciting prospect.
“There were a few choices for us, the other guys will have their time. Arshdeep has done well in the IPL, looks an exciting prospect,” he added.
On the other hand, Jos Buttler is leading England for the first time as a full time captain and he called it a great honour.
“We have got a couple of all-rounders in Moeen Ali and Liam Livingstone, they give us a lot of options with both ball and bat,” he added.
