In 2011, however, the UPA government collected information on caste; but the report was not made public. The reason cited for not disclosing caste information was to protect national unity. But can we deny caste in the Indian societal structure simply by not counting it? In a country where caste plays a significant role in who marries whom, who will live where, and who will eat what on an everyday basis, does simply counting it negatively influence the social fabric?

India: Rohit Sharma(c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, KL Rahul(w), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Harshit Rana, Mohammed Shami, Kuldeep Yadav

Speaking at the toss, captain Rizwan said, "Will bat first, looks like a good surface. Want to put up a good target. Every match is important in ICC events, we will keep things normal. The boys are familiar with these conditions, we have done well here and we want to do our best today. We lost our last game, but it is past for us now. One change - Fakhar is out, Imam is in."

Rohit though22win, wasn't fussed about the fact that he lost the toss. He would have bowled first, even if he had won the toss. He said, "Doesn't really matter, they won the toss so we'll bowl first. Looks similar to the last game, the surface is on the slower side. We have an experienced unit in batting so we know what we need to do if the pitches get slower. Need an overall performance from the team - with bat and ball. The last game wasn't an easy one for us, which is always nice. You want to be under pressure and test yourself. We are playing the same team."
