Fans rejoice Rohit Sharma's return to form before Champions Trophy

Indian captain Rohit Sharma made a remarkable comeback with a well-timed century against England in the 2nd ODI at Cuttack on Sunday. This was Rohit's 32nd century in the 50-over format and his first since his ton against Afghanistan in 2023. He also reached his half-century at the Barabati in just 30 balls.

Rohit took on the England bowlers aggressively from the outset, bringing up his century in 76 balls, which included 7 sixes and 9 fours. This outstanding performance was a much-needed revival for Rohit, who had faced challenges with his form in recent Test series against New Zealand and Australia.

Before his century, Rohit surpassed West Indies' Chris Gayle to become the second-highest six-hitter in ODIs. He started the match tied with Gayle at 331 sixes and moved ahead of the West Indies legend by hitting a six over midwicket with his signature flick shot against Gus Atkinson in the 2nd over.
