Indian captain Rohit Sharma scored a brilliant century against England in the Cuttack ODI, marking his return to form after a long time. He scored 119 runs off 90 balls, hitting 12 fours and 7 sixes in his innings. This performance is a relief for fans and the Indian team management, especially before the Champions Trophy. Prior to this, Rohit Sharma had struggled to score runs, managing only 32 runs in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia and being dismissed early in the first ODI against England.
However, Rohit Sharma’s impressive century has sparked a trend on social media, with fans praising his class and resilience. As one Twitter user noted, “No over the top celebration… no screaming… A resilient ton and perhaps a very satisfying one for #ROHITSHARMA”
