‘Even His Haters Are Clapping For Him’: Fans Laud Rohit Sharma After He Hits Century After 16 Months During IND vs ENG 2nd ODI

India’s skipper Rohit Sharma returned to form in style as he smashed his 32nd ODI century during the second ODI on February 9 at Barabati Stadium, Cuttack. While taking part in the first ODI, Rohit was dismissed early by Saqib Mahmood and as a result, a lot of people castigated him. 

While chasing the total of 305, Rohit took an aggressive approach as he reached his fifty in just 30 balls. Rohit took on the likes of Mahmood, Adil Rashid, and Mark Wood, tormenting them all around the park. Rohit brought up his century in style, smashing six off Rashid over mid-on. The Indian team skipper took just 76 balls to reach the three-figure mark with the help of 7 sixes and 9 fours.
