Rohit Sharma Returns to Form at the Right Time, Scores Century with a Six
Indian captain Rohit Sharma silenced his critics with a commanding century in the second ODI against England. Facing significant scrutiny over his recent poor form, Sharma responded emphatically by reaching his hundred with a six. He completed his century in just 76 balls, marking his 32nd ODI hundred.
This knock brought immense joy to his fans, as it had been a while since Sharma produced such a fluent innings. With the ICC Champions Trophy approaching, his return to form is seen as crucial for Team India. Cricketing legend Kapil Dev had recently hinted that a captain’s performance significantly impacts team morale, and Sharma’s century provided him much-needed relief.
As for the match, India is on track to chase down England’s target of 305 runs. At the end of 28 overs, the team had reached 201 for 2 wickets. Sharma remains unbeaten at 116 off 82 balls, having struck 12 fours and 7 sixes.
Shubman Gill contributed 60 runs, while Virat Kohli, returning from injury, was dismissed for just 5 runs, disappointing fans. Currently, Shreyas Iyer (14) is at the crease alongside Sharma. For England, Adil Rashid and Jamie Overton have picked up one wicket each.
