Now let us tell you the eye-witness account of Rohit Sharma's entire innings.
David Willey's second ball of the third over was short of length on the legs of Rohit Sharma. Hitman cleared mid-on and took a four. Rohit was off the mark with this shot. Third ball of the over: Short delivery on off stump and a six of 76 meters into the midwicket stand. On the last ball, Rohit Sharma came down the ground and hit a skyscraper six over the bowler's head with his straight bat. This is called intention, which requires heart. In the next few overs, Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli were out. In such a situation, Rohit decided to bat cautiously.
However, Chris Woakes offered width to Rohit on the second back of length ball of the tenth over. Rohit tried to drive with full force, but the top edge of the bat went over first slip for 4 runs. Luck also favors the strong. Rohit came down the ground on the last short ball of the 14th over of Chris Woakes and hit a four towards long-on. Due to slow outfield, the ball stopped a bit in the middle, but thanks to the timing of Rohit Sharma, it went to the boundary line. Rohit got the width on the last ball of the 16th over of Mark Wood and he got a four on the cut shot towards backward point. Adil Rashid's third tossed up ball of the 17th over was spinning away from the batsman after being hit. Rohit waited and hit a four with beautiful timing and placement towards covers.
Rohit Sharma put his knee on the ground on the third ball of the 21st over of Adil Rashid and while playing a sweep shot, hit a four towards deep backward square leg. With this shot, Hitman completed 18000 runs in international cricket. Rohit Sharma scored 2 runs by pulling the third short ball of Mark Wood's 24th over towards deep midwicket and scored his 54th ODI half-century. The light, short fourth ball of Mark Wood's 24th over was drifting on the hitman's pads. Rohit hit a six on a flick shot over fine leg. Rohit Sharma hit a powerful four on Liam Livingstone's fifth flighted delivery of the 27th over towards backward point on the outside off stump. Rohit came down the pitch on the third ball of Livingstone's 29th over and allowed the ball to reach the bat. Then he used his wrists and hit a four over the deep midwicket fielder. Rohit knew that mid-off was up.
Rohit came down the pitch on the fifth ball of Moeen Ali's thirtieth over and did not overhit the ball at all. Playing a lofted drive, he just cleared the mid-off fielder and took a four. Adil Rashid bowled the wrong one on the fifth ball of the 37th over. Rohit tried to slog across the line but the connection was not right. Hitman's stormy performance is telling that this time the World Cup is coming to India.
Let us know by commenting, and congratulate Hitman for his match-winning performance against the British. 🇮🇳
