Rohit Sharma’s hits and misses continues. The highs are highs and the lows are very low. If he manages a century or half century, his next innings ends in single digit and vice versa. After managing just 2 runs in the first innings, Rohit Sharma slams a gritty fifty in the IND vs ENG Ranchi Test on Day 4.
Tasked to chase 192, India got off to a great start. Rohit Sharma continued his fine touch on Day 4 slamming James Anderson to a magnificent sixer early on. With India inching closer to a win and securing the series win, it is the Indian skipper who leads the charge for the hosts.
En route to his fifty, Rohit also crossed 9000 First Class runs. Rohit punished the poor balls and continued to rotate the strikes to etch a strong partnership with Yashasvi Jaiswal.
Rohit Sharma has been in lukewarm form throughout the series. He was far from impressive in the Hyderabad and Vizag Tests. But Hitman roared back into form with a thunderous century in the Rajkot Test. Earlier in the first innings of the Ranchi Test, he managed to score just 2 runs, indicating his inconsistency.
India are already 2-1 up in the Test series. A win in Ranchi will seal the series and maintain India’s 17 Test series unbeaten record streak intact at home soil.
