The India opener Rohit Sharma once again delivered a good performance with the bat. Overall Rohit has been contributing runs consistently for India in the longest form of the game. At the home, he is arguably the best batsman for India in Test in recent times. However, in overseas conditions, Rohit Sharma has been criticized for not converting a good start into a big score.
Meanwhile, things were completely different in the 2nd Test against England at Lord’s. Rohit Sharma had an amazing century partnership with KL Rahul. Rohit Sharma scored a brilliant half-century and was heading towards his century.
He got out after a well-made 83. Currently, Rahul and Virat Kohli are at the crease and will look to stage a big partnership.
