To be fair, the rain forecast was always there. It said that there are going to be thunderstorms throughout the day in Brisbane. So much so that it makes one wonder how much of it had a role in Rohit Sharma opting to bowl first on what seemed like a decent pitch to bat on. They had two changes, one was expected with Akash Deep walking in for Harshit Rana, and the other being Ravindra Jadeja replacing R Ashwin.
