Rohit Sharma has led the Indian cricket team to a memorable 10-wicket win in the first match of the ODI series against the England cricket team. The three-match series between the Indian cricket team and the England cricket team got underway earlier today at the Kennington Oval in London.
The Indian cricket team received a major blow as star player Virat Kohli was ruled out of the first ODI owing to a groin injury. Shreyas Iyer received a place in the playing XI instead of Virat. However, Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan ensured that the other batters did not get a chance to bat in the middle for the Indian cricket team.
First, a splendid six-wicket haul from ace fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah helped the Indian cricket team bowl the England cricket team out for just 110 runs. The innings of the England cricket team lasted only 25.2 overs. Bumrah bagged six wickets, while Mohammed Shami dismissed three batters of the England cricket team. Prasidh Krishna took a wicket as well.
None of the batters of the England cricket team could get going in the middle. The likes of Jason Roy, Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Liam Livingstone and Ben Stokes had a forgettable day in London. Chasing 111 runs to win, India won the match in just 18.4 overs.
Captain Rohit blasted a 58-ball 76* while his opening partner Shikhar Dhawan scored an unbeaten 54-ball 31*. India scored 114/0 and took a 1-0 lead in the three-match series against the England cricket team.
Fans on Twitter react as a six from Rohit Sharma hit a young girl in the stands
During the Indian innings’ powerplay overs, Rohit smashed a magnificent six with a pull shot off David Willey’s short delivery. Unfortunately, the ball hit a young girl sitting in the stands. Here is the video of the incident followed by Twitter reactions:
