India skipper Rohit Sharma was a subject to immense scrutiny over the past few months for his woeful form. However, the 37-year-old gave a fitting reply to all his critics with a sensational century against England in the 2nd ODI in Cuttack.
This was Rohit’s 32nd ton in the one-day format and helped India in sealing the 3-match ODI series by emerging victorious in the first 2 matches. Following the brilliant knock, former India cricketer Jatin Paranjape, who is currently a member of the BCCI’s Cricket Advisory Committee, said he was thrilled with Rohit being back at his effortless and skillful best.
“One could see that Rohit was very, very determined to make the good start that he got count not only for himself, but more importantly for the team to ensure that they clinched the series 2-0,” Paranjape told IANS.
“In addition to his usual language elegance, one could see a steely determination in Rohit’s eyes as he looked to prove his critics wrong ahead of a very, very important Champions Trophy campaign,” Paranjape added.
The third and final ODI between India and England is set to take place on Wednesday, February 12 and it will be played at the famous Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
