"rohit-sharma"

Ahead of the 2024 season, Hardik was traded to MI and was announced as their captain.

While announcing the winner, Indian fielding coach T Dilip said that throughout the series against England, Indian players displayed "extraordinary commitment" while fielding.

India have won six, lost two and drawn one match in the current World Test Championship (WTC) cycle.

Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma's centuries propel India to a 259-run lead over England.

Starting from the overnight score of 135/1, Rohit (102 off 160) and Gill (101* off 142) capitalized on ideal weather and batting conditions, forming a dominant 160-run partnership in the opening session, marking India's second consecutive century stand in the series

Batting first after winning a good toss, England were bowled out for 218 on a flat deck on the opening day of the fifth and final Test against India here.

Spin maestro Kuldeep Yadav's sensational 5-72 and Ravichandran Ashwin's 4-51 orchestrated England's downfall as they were bowled out for 218 in 57.4 overs.

England, on the other hand, are languishing at eighth with 19.44%, just a spot ahead of bottom-placed Sri Lanka, who are yet to open their account.

The left-arm Chinaman bowler claimed the prized wickets of opener Zak Crawly while he was going well, skipper Ben Stokes, Tom Hartley, and Ollie Robinson.

Sarfaraz, who was fielding in the deep, was called by Rohit to change his position from long-on to silly mid-off, and while the youngster responded to his captain's call, he decided to take a big risk.

Jaiswal attributes his good run in Tests to keeping in mind what the needs of his team are in a particular match.

England's Mark Wood took four wickets, but fielding lapses and Siraj's injury hindered their performance.

Rohit Sharma (131) and Ravindra Jadeja (112) struck fine hundreds while debutant Sarfaraz Khan made a promising start to his Test career with an impressive 62 off 66 balls.

The formidable partnership of 204 runs between captain Rohit and Jadeja firmly placed India in control on Day 1 of the ongoing third Test against England in Rajkot on Thursday.

However, miscommunication with star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja in the middle cut short his lovely debut innings as he was run out by Mark Wood at the non-striker's end.

With India reduced to 33 for three inside the first hour of play, Rohit (131 off 196) and Jadeja (110 batting off 212) as India reached 326 for five at stumps on day one of the third Test against England on Thursday.

Now in 470 international matches, Rohit has scored 18,641 runs at an average of 43.35.

India were jolted early by Wood's express pace and movement off the surface which saw the home team's best batter in the series Yashasvi Jaiswal (10) walking back without contributing much.

India will be playing the T20 World Cup 2024, to be organised in the Caribbean and the USA, under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, said BCCI secretary Jay Shah

He slammed an unbeaten 55-ball 120 in the second T20I against the West Indies at the Adelaide Oval on Sunday.
