Rohit 'Hitman' Sharma hits form with a tremendous ton against England in Cuttack

11 min read

In a huge relief for Indian cricket fans, Team India captain Rohit Sharma finally found his groove on Sunday, lighting up Barabati Stadium in Cuttack with a stunning display of strokeplay as he hit 102* off 76 balls. Rohit sent a clear message to the cricketing world by dispatching deliveries to all corners of the ground, signaling that he is back in top form ahead of the Champions Trophy. With India aiming for a commanding 2-0 lead against England, his return to form couldn’t have come at a better time.

The India skipper wasted no time, launching Gus Atkinson for a massive six early on. He then raced to a 30-ball fifty, dismantling the England bowling attack with his trademark aggression.

Rohit Sharma had been enduring a prolonged struggle with form since the start of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) in Australia, where he managed to score only 31 runs across five innings.

Sharma's disappointing performances raised concerns about his batting rhythm, ultimately leading the Indian captain to take the tough decision of dropping himself for the final Test. However, despite the shake-up, India was unable to turn the tide, suffering a 1-3 series defeat at the hands of the Australians and lost the BGT trophy after a decade.
