IND vs ENG: How Rohit Sharma proved talks of his waning prowess was grossly exaggerated with his second fastest hundred | Cricket News
Rohit Sharma had forewarned of writing him off in this version just yet. A seven-ball outing in Nagpur may have held the question over his head intact. But in a 142-minute masterclass at the Barabati Stadium on Sunday, the Indian captain wiped out detractors and England’s 304-run defence with his 32nd ODI century. First-game heroes Shubman Gill (60) and Shreyas Iyer (44) chipped in before India claimed a four-wicket victory and the series win with 33 balls to spare. On a day where the pacers were blunted by the England top-order, Ravindra Jadeja’s metronomic 3/35 had earlier denied the visitors a higher finish. When the local media reacted with rapturous applause to an early Rohit maximum, a couple of their English counterparts were left wondering if they were teleported to the Western Terrace back home at Headingley for a moment. For the Indian captain though, Sunday was all about reconnecting with happier times from not so long ago. 𝙄. 𝘾. 𝙔. 𝙈.
