Brilliant match. Nice start as well for both the teams. I think Rohit Sharma should be in the Indian team as he is one of the best. Surprisingly, no team lost even a wicket in the whole match.
 
Did not expect this.

Even tough I loss, I am happy with the game.

A brilliant start for my team is what I see.
 
Now this is a better presentation :D
