Rohit Sharma's explosive comeback: Close to a record with the century against England

By scoring a brilliant century in the second ODI against England, Rohit Sharma proved that he still wants to play with full enthusiasm. His form was affected a bit in recent times, but a classic batsman like Rohit just needs a great innings to return to his rhythm. The good thing is that he has returned to his form before the Champions Trophy. Now he has a chance to achieve a new milestone by playing another memorable innings in the last ODI. It remains to be seen whether he achieves this feat before the Champions Trophy or during this big tournament.

Rohit Sharma scored a brilliant century in the second ODI played against England in Cuttack. He scored 119 runs in just 90 balls. During this, he hit 7 sixes and 12 fours. His strike rate was close to 132. The English bowlers had no answer to Rohit Sharma. However, he missed out on achieving a new milestone in this match. If he had scored 13 more runs, he could have touched the figure of 11000 ODI runs, but before that he had to go to the pavilion.

Rohit Sharma has scored 10987 runs in ODIs so far. Now he has gone ahead of Rahul Dravid. Rahul Dravid had scored 10889 runs in 344 ODI matches, but Rohit has left him behind in just 267 matches. Now he needs only 13 more runs to complete his 11000 runs in ODIs. Which he will do in the last match.

Rohit Sharma still has a lot of opportunities, so it is certain that he will score 11 thousand runs, but the question is whether he will do this before the Champions Trophy. The last match of the series will be played on February 12 at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. After this, Team India will directly take the field for the Champions Trophy on February 20, when it will face Bangladesh.
