Rohit Sharma and Sachin Tendulkar
IND vs Eng: Eventually Rohit Sharma’s lost old form returned. Indian captain Rohit Sharma created a new record by blowing the England bowlers in the second ODI in Cuttack. Rohit Sharma chased England’s 304 runs and started Team India with Shubman Gill. As a result, the Indian team hung 77 runs in 10 overs and Rohit Sharma also completed his half -century off 30 balls. This was the third fastest half -century of Rohit’s ODI career. Rohit had a brilliant century partnership with Gill. Gill returned to the pavilion after scoring a half -century in the 17th over but Rohit’s bat continued to thunder. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli returned to the pavilion cheaply after scoring 5 runs but Rohit Sharma continued to wreak havoc with the bat. In this way, Rohit Sharma scored a brilliant six in the 26th over and scored a 32nd century of his ODI career.

Along with this, Rohit demolished a large record of 48 centuries of Rahul Dravid in international cricket.
