Pierre overpitched one, he was down on one knee and out came a powerful slog sweep over mid-wicket. The fifth ball is another SIX as he lofts Pierre over the top. He is not done yet and its a four again. Pierre has lost it. Rohit reaches out and sensibly guides the ball wide of point, knowing there's no sweeper on the off-side. 21 runs off it, the best over the innings IND 81-0 after 7 overs India is on fire KL Rahul is going the distance 5.1 - FOUR 5.2 - SIX 5.3 - FOUR India on fire right now.
