Rohit Sharma scored the 12th Test century of his career as India took the lead against England on Day 2 in Dharamsala.
Rohit Sharma was in marauding form as he completed the 12th century of his Test career against England on Day 2 of the Dharamsala Test. The India captain, continuing his red-hot form in the current World Test Championship cycle, notched up his 2nd century of the series and came close to completing 400 runs. Rohit is the only Indian in WTC’s top-10 run-scorers as he and Shubman Gill – through a terrific partnership for the second wicket – propelled India into the lead.
Resuming on his overnight score of 52, Rohit switched to overdrive from the very beginning, exuding shades of his aggressive self at the World Cup. After a maiden and a tight over from James Anderson, Rohit flexed his muscles carting a six and four off back-to-back deliveries from Shoaib Bashir. Gill then took charge in the next over – smashing Anderson for a maximum and two boundaries off three balls to take 14 off it as the partnership between the two flourished.
