Cricket Advisory Committee: India skipper Rohit Sharma faced intense scrutiny over his form in the past six months, but quashed all of it in swashbuckling fashion by hitting 119 off 90 balls, his 32nd ODI century, in a four-wicket series-clinching win over England at Cuttack.

Jatin Paranjape, the former India player and selector who is currently a member of the BCCI’s Cricket Advisory Committee, said he was thrilled with Rohit being back at his effortless and skillful best at the Barabati Stadium on Sunday to break a long drought of runs and prove his critics wrong ahead of an important Champions Trophy campaign.

“One could see that Rohit was very, very determined to make the good start that he got count not only for himself, but more importantly for the team to ensure that they clinched the series 2 - nil.
