IND vs ENG: India has taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match ODI series against England with a dominant performance. In the first ODI played in Nagpur, captain Rohit Sharma failed to impress, getting out for just 2 runs. However, he made a stunning comeback in the second match, scoring a brilliant century and silencing his critics. This was Rohit's first ODI century in 475 days, helping him achieve multiple new records.
Rohit Sharma Sets New Records
Rohit Sharma smashed his 49th international century, surpassing Australia’s Steve Smith (48 centuries) to become the third-highest century scorer among active cricketers. Only Virat Kohli and Joe Root are ahead of him.
Golden Opportunity to Cross 11,000 ODI Runs
In the third ODI at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Rohit Sharma has another historic milestone within reach.

Rohit Sharma has another significant record within sight in ODI cricket as an opener.
