IND vs ENG: Rohit Sharma Brings 'Sweep' Timing Into Play For Big Ton

By IANS News February 13, 2021 • 19:53 PM View: 2959

No India batsman over the last 10 years has taken a top Test side's bowling apart in the first session of a Test as Rohit Sharma did against England on Saturday, though Shikhar Dhawan had hit an unbeaten 104 in the first session on the first day of the one-off Test against Afghanistan in 2018.

Sharma smashed 80 off the 106 runs his team had scored on a pitch that provided prodigious turn from the first session of the second Test at the MA Chidambaram Stadium here.
