India opt to bowl vs England
Rohit cited the moisture in the surface as the reason behind his decision. He also said it was better to “have a score in front” given the dimensions of the ground. The square boundaries are on the shorter side – 57 metres and 68 metres – but there is a long pocket of 91 metres at deep midwicket. The straight boundary measures 84 metres.
