IND vs ENG: Rohit Sharma smashes century during second ODI against England
India captain Rohit Sharma smashed a century during the second One-Day International against England at Barabati Stadium in Cuttack on Sunday.
The 37-year-old got to his hundred with a six over long-off against English leg-spinner Adil Rashid.
This was Rohit’s first ODI century since his 84-ball 131 against Afghanistan in Delhi during the 2023 Cricket World Cup.
This was also Rohit’s 32nd ODI hundred, which places him third in the all-time list, behind compatriots Virat Kohli (50) and Sachin Tendulkar (49).
Rohit was eventually dismissed for 119 off 90 balls off Liam Livingstone’s bowling in the 30th over.
Earlier in the game, Rohit had become the second most prolific six-hitter in ODI cricket. He was level on 331 sixes with Chris Gayle ahead of the match, and overtook the West Indies opener when he flicked Gus Atkinson for a six over midwicket in the second over of India’s chase.
