Rohit Sharma created history
Rohit Sharma, who came to throw the second over of India’s innings, hit a brilliant six on the fifth ball of Gas Atkinson’s over and hit a brilliant six. On the basis of this six, Rohit Sharma has come in second place in the list of bats to hit the most sixes in international ODIs. He has left Chris Gayle behind in this list.
On the basis of this six, the number of sixes in Rohit Sharma’s ODI increased to 332. Rohit Sharma has done this feat in 259 innings of 267 matches. At the same time, Chris Gayle has hit 331 sixes in 294 innings of 301 matches. After this there is Jayasuriya in the list. Jayasuriya has hit 270 sixes in 433 innings of 445 matches. Let me tell you, the record of hitting the most sixes in international ODIs is the name of Shahid Afridi of Pakistan, who has hit 351 sixes in 369 innings of 398 matches.
Such is England’s innings
Left -handed spinner Ravindra Jadeja bowled brilliantly and took three wickets for 35 runs, which led India to strengthen his grip in the middle overs and threw England for 304 runs in 49.5 overs in the second ODI international cricket match on Sunday. On a good pitch for batting, Jadeja dismissed the aggressive Ben Docket (65 runs) and the crease who was out of Root (69 runs), which could not increase the strong start to a big score.
After winning the toss, England came out to bat and laid a good foundation with the contribution of Docket, Root and captain Jose Butler (34 runs). England’s score was 200 runs for three wickets in 35 overs, which seemed that the team would be successful in scoring more than 330 runs. But Jadeja’s disciplined bowling tried his run pace.
If Liam Livingstone did not score 14 runs from two fours and two sixes in 32 balls and Adil Rashid had not scored 14 runs in five balls, the score would not have reached here. Three England players were run out in the last two overs, which reduced the team one ball first. This is the lowest score since 2011 at Barabati Stadium as the average score has been more than 350 since then.
