Yes, I was going to say that. Today might be his day. He can bat more freely and that may give him more chance to score. But there certainly looks to be a plan that Shikhar will go after the bowling and Rohit will keep his wicket and that seems to be working.

That aspect is an inner thing planned by team management and the skipper. May be or may not be.

There are always plans and one cannot say that they are going out to bat just to chase a target. Things are planned and even reserved plans are also ready in case something goes wrong.

If not for chasing the target, what the team is expected to chase?

We always take the meaning of 'chase' in the wrong sense. Even if a team is batting first, they do have a 'target' - a milestone in mind. It depends on how we interpret the meaning of the words.

Whatever... Today's match is big enough.. Let;s see if India have any strategy against them.

With the confidence gained, India will play without tension. It has got nothing to lose.

Australia lose previous encounter with WI because in press conference Bolinger said I do not like WI and after match Gayle's animated reaction testimony to this and now they are against Ind, whether or not verbal volleys are there, but match will be interesting and Shikhar will find this time convenient to face Ausies.
