IND vs ENG 2nd Test: Rohit Sharma’s last 10 innings on foreign soil

IND vs ENG LIVE 2nd Test – Rohit Sharma Misses 100 at Lord’s: Rohit missed the 100 but he must be a relieved man as finally after 8 innings on foreign soil he could manage a 50+ score.

In his last 10 innings overseas, he has been prey to the nervy 30’s most of the time and has seen a string of failures.

36, 12*, 34, 30, 44, 7, 26, 52, 63*, 5

The right-handed Indian batsman had managed an average of 38.62 in his last 10 outings overseas. Sharma last smashed a half-century against Australia in Sydney in January 2021.

Sharma has been seen in fine touch right from the start of the innings. Earlier during the play, he smashed four fours in an over to Sam Curran’s bowling.
