Rohit Sharma
The Indian team defeated England by 4 wickets in the second ODI and won the match with an unassailable 2–0 lead in the series. England targeted 305 runs to win the Indian team, which the Indian team achieved thanks to Rohit Sharma’s innings. Rohit proved to be the biggest hero for India. He scored 119 runs scoring the 32nd century of his ODI career. He has been struggling with poor form for a long time and has now returned to form. This is auspicious sign for Team India. After the match, he has said a lot about his batting plan.
ODI format is different from Test and T20: Rohit Sharma
Indian captain Rohit Sharma said after the match that I enjoyed batting and scoring runs for the team. This is an important series. But what kind of bat I want to do. For this, a plan was made how to bat in ODIs. This format is different from T20 and is smaller than the test. I wanted to bat for a long time and this was my focus. I prepared myself. How to face the balls coming towards the stump. How to find a gap. Both Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer performed well with me. Gill is a great player. He does not allow the situation to dominate himself and the figures testify to it.
Jose Butler also praised Rohit
England captain Jose Butler said that we were reaching a good position in batting but we could not redeem it. If he had scored a score of 350, perhaps the result could have been something else. But Rohit played amazing innings and he has been doing this for a long time. We had done well in the powerplay but if we had reached 330-350, we could have defended that score. We just want to take our steps in the right direction and be positive.
Indian batsmen showed strength
The Indian team was given a strong start by the opening pair of Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill. These players shared a 136 -run partnership for the first wicket and laid the foundation for Team India’s victory. Rohit scored 119 runs. At the same time, Gill contributed 60 runs. Later, Shreyas Iyer (44 runs) and Akshar Patel (41 runs) also played well. It was because of these players that the Indian team managed to win the match.
