WATCH: Rohit Sharma forgets team decision during toss

India captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to bowl first against New Zealand in their bid to clinch the series in the second one-day international on Saturday.

However, Rohit took a while to announce his decision to field and told the presenter he "forgot" about the team call.

The hosts, who lead the three-match series 1-0, remain unchanged in Raipur from their opening win.

New Zealand kept the same team from their 12-run loss on Wednesday and skipper Tom Latham said he would have also elected to bowl had he won the toss.

It must be noted that Shubman Gill scored a brilliant 208 as India held on to beat New Zealand in the first ODI in Hyderabad despite a blistering century from Michael Bracewell.

Bracewell smacked 12 fours and 10 sixes but finished on the losing side as Siraj was the pick of the Indian bowlers with figures of 4-46.

Earlier, the 23-year-old Gill helped India post a formidable total of 349-8 after an innings spanning 149 balls and featuring 19 fours and nine sixes.
