Important to continue momentum once we got that start: Rohit Sharma

By Saurabh Sharma December 11, 2019 • 22:28 PM View: 1138

Mumbai, Dec 11: Rohit Sharma started the carnage that ensued at the Wankhede Stadium here on Wednesday as India posted a mammoth 240/3 in the third T20I against the West Indies.

Rohit scored 71 off just 34 balls in an innings that was punctuated with six fours and five sixes. But, incredibly enough, he was upstaged by his opening partner K.L. Rahul (91 off 56 balls) and captain Virat Kohli (70 not out off 29 balls).
