According to Pune Mirror, some of their sources in the Pune Police were unhappy with Rohit’s reckless driving. They preferred it if he traveled with the Indian team in their bus along with a police escort. 

India will face Bangladesh on 19th October in the MCA Stadium, Pune. It will be the first Multinational tournament match it will host since being built in 2012. Bangladesh could go into the match without captain Shakib Al Hassan due to an injury while India have a fully fit squad and are at the top of the group stage.
