IND vs ENG 2nd ODI: Rohit Sharma is back to his best
Before the 2nd ODI match, Rohit Sharma was under immense pressure. His form has been poor since the Border-Gavaskar series and there were continuous talks of his place in the Indian team set up. Even during the press conference prior to the start of this series, he was asked about his form and his future.
But Rohit did what he has been doing throughout his career. He let his bat talk. During the big chase against England, the 37-year-old came into his own, scoring 119 runs off 90 balls courtesy of 12 fours and 7 sixes. His incredible innings also sealed the three-match ODI series for India.
After the match, Rohit Sharma was all praise for his teammates and also discussed his batting approach in the 2nd ODI match.
“It was good, really enjoyed being out there, scoring some runs for the team. Important game, series on the line. I broke it into pieces how I wanted to bat. It’s a format that is longer than T20 cricket and a lot shorter than Tests. Still, you need to assess and bat according to the situation. I wanted to stay focused and bat as deep as possible. Looking at the pitch when you play on black soil, the pitch tends to skid on a bit so it’s important that you show the full face of the bat. Then they were trying to bowl into the body and not give room so I prepared my plan as well. I accessed the gaps and obviously, I got good support from Gill and then Shreyas,” Rohit Sharma said after the match.
With the win in the 2nd ODI match, India are now leading 2-0 in the three-match series. The third and final match of the series will be played on February 12 at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
