Rohit's form will be crucial to India's fortunes in the tournament as he will be expected to give explosive starts.

They will later play tournament co-hosts USA (June 12) and Canada (June 15) to wrap up their Group A matches.

The ICC T20 World Cup will be played in the West Indies and the USA from June 1 to 29.
