"Ishan Kishan is the only option we have and he will open with me," Rohit said on the eve of the series-opener.
"Mayank (Agarwal) was added to the squad and he is still in isolation. He came (joined) late and we have some rules in place. If someone is travelling, we have to put them in (mandatory 3-day) quarantine. He has still not finished his quarantine, so Ishan will open the innings, elaborated Rohit.
