Toss was a much talked about topic during the World cup as India lost out to New Zealand and Pakistan. Many could not wait for Rohit to take over to see if the luck turns for the better for the Men In Blue.

Meanwhile, several other reactions from fans can be seen below.

Rohit Sharma explained his rationale to field first

While speaking at the toss, Rohit Sharma said,

"The wicket looks good. Thought behind is to have a score behind us, there was quite a lot of dew while practicing from a couple of days. It's been good, has been only 2 days, been a quick turnaround, back from Dubai, spent a couple of days and back here. But it'll be good for the team. We have Shreyas Iyer back, Venkatesh is debuting, Bhuvi, Siraj and Chahar are back. We're playing three seamers and two spinners. We have one eye on the next World Cup. It's a lot of time ahead. We'll try our options, some results might not be immediate, but the process will be crucial."
