India vs England 2nd ODI: Rohit Sharma’s Century Leads Team to Victory

India dominated the second ODI against England, with Rohit Sharma leading the way with an incredible century that broke his recent dry spell. The Men in Blue secured a solid 2-0 lead in the three-game series, showcasing their prowess and finishing the game with four wickets and 33 balls to spare. Sharma’s opening partnership with Shubman Gill, totaling 136 runs, played a crucial role in the victory.

England, despite being bowled out, managed to put up a competitive score of 304 in their allotted 50 overs. The team saw contributions from Joe Root (69), Jos Buttler (34), Harry Brook (31), and Liam Livingstone (41), guiding them to over 300 after a somewhat uncertain start. Ravindra Jadeja stood out among India’s bowlers, finishing with figures of 10-1-35-3.

England’s openers, Ben Duckett and Phil Salt, once again set a strong foundation for their team with a 50-run partnership. The Indian bowlers initially seemed at a loss, with Axar Patel missing an easy catch off Salt when he was at 7 runs. This near-miss left fans wondering if Salt would capitalize on the opportunity.

In summary, India’s impressive performance in the second ODI puts them in a commanding position in the series against England, showing their strength and skill on the field.
