Former Indian skipper Rohit Sharma has had a go at his critics with a spectacular half-century at Adelaide. The veteran opener's conscious knock under pressure saw him taking calculated risks and hitting the ball just twice over the boundary ropes. This led Rohit to a new six-hitting record, a record he has been chasing quite often for India.
India are facing the World Champions, Australia, in a three-match ODI series . The series marks the preparation for India for the upcoming World Cup to be hosted in South Africa in 2027. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, the Indian veterans, are looking forward to fancying their chances in the World Cup with a strong performance in these games.
After a not-so-impressive start to the tournament, Rohit and Virat failed the new skipper, Shubman Gill, lost his first match as captain, and the bowlers did not hit the right spots, leading to a very messy situation.
