With another trademark pull shot over square-leg off Bas de Leede, Rohit broke Yuvraj’s record with his third six of the match in the 10th over. Klaasen dismissed the Indian captain in the 12th over, just as he looked set for a big one. Rohit attempted another big shot but didn’t get the timing right and was holed out at deep midwicket for 53 off 39 balls.

“We are going to bat first. Yeah, morale is really high. Winning a game like that takes your confidence to the next level, but at the same time we understand we need to stay calm, just the first game of the tournament and plenty of things to happen,” Rohit Sharma said after winning the toss against the Netherlands.

“We have to calm ourselves and look forward to this game. We want to keep improving no matter what the results are, it always keeps you in good stead when you are thinking like that.
