Rajarshi: "Such a momentum breaker this rain delay was for India. In this sort of a pitch where the ball is keeping low , coming slow you are never in, but Rohit and also Surya managed to get in terms with that. Was timing the ball well, now they may have to take two or three overs to get that flow back."
