Rohit Sharma's match-winning knock

Rohit Sharma always a the ability to score big hundreds and the Indian captain proved yet again that he has still got it. He was under immense pressure coming into this game due to some poor scores in the last few months.

However, he finally announced his return to form in his favourite format and showed why he is regarded so highly. Rohit started his innings in a typical fashion by taking on the bowlers right from the start.

He continuously used his feet and didn't allow England's bowlers to settle down. He was at his six-hitting best which disrupted the rhythm of the bowlers. He wasn't at his best in the initial balls but got the measure of the wicket soon.

The 38-year-old opener made full use of the powerplay restrictions and took India ahead of the required run rate right from the beginning. He brought up his landmark ODI hundred off just 76 balls.

Overall, Rohit smashed 119 off just 90 deliveries with 12 fours and 7 sixes and by the time he got out, he had already taken India to a position of ascendancy. India chased down the target by 4 wickets with more than 5 overs to spare. The Men in Blue have now taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match ODI series.

Rohit's form is great news for India ahead of the Champions Trophy where he will be key to India's chances. India's opening game for the Champions Trophy 2025 will be played against Bangladesh on February 20 in Dubai.
