Dubai, Sep 21 (UNI) India won the toss and opted to field against Bangladesh at the Asia Cup here on Friday.
Indian openers like Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan have the capabilities to turn the match. While Ambati Rayudu and Dinesh Karthik looked solid against Pakistan.
However, former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni's batting form could keep the team management worried as he hasn't been scoring. Now, its upto Rohit whether he promotes him in the batting order or not.
