KL Rahul walks in at number 3, replacing his captain. Al-Amin Hossain to bowl from the other end.

S Islam to R Sharma, OUT! LBW! Umpire's call it is and Rohit has to go. The review is retained though. A length ball outside off, coming back in sharply, Sharma looks to defend but misses and is hit on the pads. The umpire raises his finger on the appeal and Rohit has a chat with Dhawan. Takes the review but technology shows that umpire's call it is, so the review will stay but Rohit won't. Big wicket for Bangladesh.

OUT! LBW! The Indian skipper has been adjudged plumb in front. He has a chat with Dhawan though and then takes the review. Looks close to the naked eye. Will height be an issue? Clipping the top of the stumps.

Issues. Looks like something has gone into Dhawan's eyes. The umpire has helped him to get the dirt out.

S Islam to R Sharma, FOUR! Solid shot. A length ball outside off, Rohit stands tall and punches it wide of mid off. The ball races away.

S Islam to R Sharma, FOUR! Runs straight away for India! Shafiul starts with a poor ball down the leg side, Rohit in the form that he is in, just flicks it towards the fine leg region for the first boundary of the game.

We are all set to begin! Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan make their way out to the middle. The Bangladesh players make their out to the middle. Shafiul Islam will start for the hosts.

Harsha Bhogle is chatting with Shikhar Dhawan. Gabbar says that it is a great feeling to be back playing at home. Is looking forward to score some runs tonight. On India batting first, but having an advantage chasing, Dhawan says that it is only about the mindset. For him, batting first or second does not matter. On India having an 8-0 record over Bangladesh in T20Is, Shikhar says that he did not know about it, feels great to know now but also says that records do not matter when you are on the field.

Indian captain, Rohit Sharma, says that India would have bowled first as well. Adds that India's chasing record has been good but also says that the pitch looks slightly sticky, so assessment needs to be done as to what would be a fighting score. Adds that India will look to win games but also look at giving opportunities to players who have come from good domestic performances. Informs that they have gone in with a similar combination as in the past, with 3 spinners and 2 seamers with Shivam Dube being given the cap for India.

Bangladesh skipper, Mahmudullah, says that the wicket looks good, so the decision. Hence wants to restrict India to as low a total as possible. Admits that they will miss Shakib and Tamim but have put that behind them. Informs that they are going with 4 bowlers, 2 of them being quick and Mohammad Naim making his debut tonight.

TOSS - It is time for the spin of the coin in the 1000TH T20I. Rohit Sharma flips the coin and Mahmudullah calls Heads. Heads it is. BANGLADESH ELECT TO CHASE.

PITCH REPORT - Murali Kartik says that the track looks very solid, very different to the original Kotla pitch. Sunil Gavaskar says that he has not seen a better looking Kotla pitch for ages. Feels that it is nice and hard, just a hint of green, just a hint of moisture and there is no dryness. Believes that spinners will not get any purchase.

WEATHER - The weather looks slightly better than it was in the afternoon, which seems slightly good news. It is still hazy though.
