London: It was said that Rohit Sharma is going to play the last match of his career on 19th July. The third and decisive match against England at Lord’s will also be their last match. It was claimed that the selectors have started looking beyond him. But in this match, Rohit Sharma gave a big slap on the face of the selectors by playing an inning of 138 runs in 110 balls.
Slap on the face of selectors
Rohit Sharma hit 17 fours and five sixes. Even his excellent innings could not save India from a 27-run defeat. Rohit was hitting pull shots as beautifully as he was hitting sweep shots equally cleanly. What a beautiful date to choose to return to form. What a beautiful day you chose. Rohit told ‘BCCI.TV’:
I have been hearing such things ever since I made my debut in international cricket. As long as I keep playing, this will continue. So it doesn’t make much difference to me. The most important thing for me is what I do on the field and how much I contribute to the success of the team. My entire attention remains on him. Let there be noise, if there is no noise then there will be no fun. My work is inside the field, other people’s work is outside the field. That’s the way I look at it.
Rohit made a record at Lord’s
Rohit will be more than 40 years old by the World Cup to be held in South Africa from October 4 to November 21 next year. He became the first and oldest Indian batsman to score a century at Lord’s.
India’s next ODI series from 27th September
India made a disappointing end to the UK tour. Before losing the ODI series 1-2 to England, the team also faced defeat in the T20 series against Ireland (0-2) and England (0-4). The Indian team will now play the next ODI series against West Indies at home.
