IND vs ENG, 2nd ODI: English skipper Buttler hails Rohit's blazing innings

If a player of Rohit Sharma's calibre could face pressure at times, the others should be a bit "easier" on themselves, said England skipper Jos Buttler as he hailed the Indian skipper's much-awaited century as a lesson in modern and dynamic ODI batting. Facing intense scrutiny over his form and calls of retirement, the 37-year-old Rohit returned to form with his first century in the ODI format in 16 months to power India to a series-clinching win here on Sunday. "It's probably a nice reminder for all of us that if someone of Rohit's caliber can be under pressure, we should be a bit easier on ourselves," Buttler said after their four-wicket loss here. "He's been a great player for such a long period of time and top players generally come up with the goods and he obviously did that today." "Any time you're playing against great players and they're playing an innings like that, I'm sure players on both sides will be watching and learning. He played a brilliant innings and (displayed)

IND vs ENG: Rohit believes getting among runs is not as simple as it sounds

It was just another day in office, said a nonchalant India skipper Rohit Sharma after his 32nd ODI century ended a prolonged lean patch but acknowledged that the process of getting back among runs "is quite difficult" even though it "sounds very simple". Rohit blazed his way to a 90-ball 119 with 12 fours and seven sixes to set up India's four-wicket win over England in the second ODI here on Sunday, giving the hosts an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match affair. "...when people have played for a number of years and scored so many runs over the years...that means something," Rohit said in a video shared by BCCI. "I've played this game for a long time now and I understand what is required of me. So, it's just about going out there and doing your things and this was, what I did today was, one of my things." Rohit's 119 was his first century in ODIs since October 2023, a period during which the opening batter hit five fifties in 13 matches. Across formats, this was his first cent

It's a catch 22 situation for out-of-form Rohit: Ravichandran Ashwin

Former India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin feels it's a "catch-22 situation" for an out-of-form Rohit Sharma, and believes it's high time for the India skipper to silence his critics by letting his bat do the talking ahead of the upcoming Champions Trophy. Rohit, who had dropped himself from the final Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia owing to poor form, scored just two runs in the first ODI against England in Nagpur on his return to international cricket after a month. "This is not easy. If you look at it from Rohit's point of view, then obviously, it is frustrating for him. He wants to concentrate on the series. He thinks that I've done well in this format and I'd like to continue. "I'm going into the tournament with a lot of confidence on the back of the One-Day tournaments that I've played," Ashwin said on on his YouTube channel. "But people will ask questions. The ones who are watching will obviously ask. It's a catch-22 situation. You can't stop these questions. W
