"rohit-sharma"

The England fast bowlers concluded the first Test match in Hyderabad without taking a wicket, a feat last achieved in 1952 against Kanpur.

England got a taste of what their Bazball is up against in Indian conditions. The Indian spinners, on a pitch that offered a bit of turn and bounce, dictated the terms, dismissing the Three Lions for a below-par 246 in 64.3 overs

Rohit Sharma, the captain of India, has already mentioned that they are not concerned about the way England plays. However, he emphasized that the narrative of the five-match series will revolve around 'Bazball' against spin.

I don't think we are unbeatable. We don't want to think like that. But whatever past records that we have over the last decade or so, do not guarantee that we will come out on top in this series, said Rohit

England’s ultra-aggressive style of cricket in Tests will be put to a serious test when a formidable India take on the visitors in the first Test

Six Indian players including Rohit Sharma made it to the ICC Men's ODI team of the year released on Tuesday

Rohit will be seen in action during India's five-Test match series against England starting from January 25

At the end of the powerplay in six overs, India was 30/4, with Rinku (2*) and Rohit (13*) unbeaten.

Rohit's milestone came during the third and final T20I against Afghanistan at Bengaluru.

Rohit struck an unbeaten 69-ball 121 while Rinku Singh made 69 off 39 deliveries, powering India after they were reeling at 22 for four in the fifth over.

Virat Kohli and Yashasvi Jaiswal have replaced Shubman Gill and Tilak Varma in the playing XI.

India's fringe players, led by Shivam Dube, made the opportunity count to set up a six-wicket win over Afghanistan in the first T20 of the three-match series

The team, having returned from South Africa last week, only assembled on Wednesday evening for the series.

The Afghanistan series is India's last bilateral T20I series before the T20 World Cup, which starts on June 1.

India's semifinal defeat to England in the T20I World Cup on November 10 was the duo's last appearance in the shortest format.

India beat South Africa by seven wickets in a match that lasted only 106.2 overS.

While Siraj, Mukesh and Bumrah put an impressive performance during the match, Prasidh Krishna disappointed with his bowling.

Visiting India thus completed a remarkable comeback after losing the first Test in Centurion by an innings and 32 runs.

Virat Kohli top-scored with 46 while captain Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill made 39 and 36 respectively

In the last 50 over World Cup, skipper Rohit, at best would have emulated Kapil Dev and Mahendra Singh Dhoni, but if he and his men manage to pull off a coup in this country, he would stand first among the equals
