2nd ODI: Broke It Down To Pieces About How I Wanted To Bat, Says Rohit After Hitting 32nd Century
With Ravindra Jadeja: After bouncing back into form in the lead-up to the Champions Trophy by hitting his 32nd ODI century in the four-wicket win over England at the Barabati Stadium, India skipper Rohit Sharma said his masterly 119 came due to him breaking down his batting approach into pieces in a successful chase of 305.
Rohit’s masterly 119 off 90 balls was laced with 12 fours and seven sixes, along with Shubman Gill’s 60 and handy knocks from Shreyas Iyer (44) and Axar Patel (41 not out) helped India chase down 305 with 33 balls remaining and take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.
“It was good and really enjoyed being out there, scoring some runs for the team. Important game with the series on the line but I broke it down to pieces about how I wanted to bat. Longer than T20s and shorter than Tests and I wanted to break it down. I wanted to bat as deep as possible and that was my focus.
