NEW DELHI: Rohit Sharma showcased a remarkable performance on a difficult pitch where most of the Indian batters struggled, resulting in the hosts posting 229 for nine against England in a challenging World Cup match in Lucknow on Sunday.
With India batting first for the initial time in the tournament, it was an opportunity for the batters to set a solid target. However, only Rohit Sharma (87 off 101) and Suryakumar Yadav (49 off 47) managed to adapt to the two-paced wicket. The rest of the lineup faltered while attempting to accelerate the scoring.
