India win toss, opt to bowl against New Zealand in 2nd ODI
Raipur, India, 21 Jan - India skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and elected to bowl first against New Zealand in their bid to clinch the series in the second one-day international on Saturday.
The hosts, who lead the three-match series 1-0, remain unchanged in Raipur from their opening win.
Rohit took a while to announce his decision to field and told the presenter he "forgot" about the team call.
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.
