Team India opener Rohit Sharma continued his swashbuckling form to bring 21st One-Day International hundred during the ongoing fourth ODI against Windies at the Brabourne Stadium.
Although India lost Virat Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan early, Rohit Sharma ensured India looks well in line to post a good score at the end of fifty overs. Furthermore, he brought his second hundred of the series after a well-made unbeaten 152 in the opening fixture.

Rohit Sharma looked in sublime touch as he dominated the proceedings right from the word go. He pierced the gaps with ease as the spectators applauded in awe. Furthermore, this is the ninth consecutive ODI series where he has scored one or more hundreds for India. Furthermore, he is also the first Indian to score a T20 century in this ground and now became the first cricketer to score an ODI hundred.
Rohit Sharma brought his hundred in just 98 balls as he steered one past point to Fabien Allen. The swashbuckling batter from Mumbai smashed 14 boundaries and two sixes to bring his three-figure score. India will want him to continue till the end as India aim to post a mammoth total at the halfway stage.
Meanwhile, India made two changes going into this game following their snubbing at Pune. They brought in all-rounder Kedar Jadhav in place of Rishabh Pant to strengthen their middle-order. Windies handed a humiliating loss to the hosts after a splendid knock from Shai Hope and all-round effort from Ashley Nurse to level the series.
