‘Call him HITMAN for this very reason’: Netizens enjoy Rohit Sharma’s innings in 2nd Test against England at Lord’s

By Charlie On Aug 12, 2021

Indian opener Rohit Sharma surely enjoyed his innings against England in the 2nd Test at Lord’s in London. The man’s 83 off 145 balls got India to a steady start helping the side put on 126 runs on the board along with opener KL Rahul.

Rohit and KL Rahul’s innings was the first opening partnership of fifty runs in the first innings for India in Tests at Lord’s since 1952.

While he was dismissed by the veteran James Anderson, the Hitman’s innings saw him smash 11 fours and a six. Rohit, in particular, took on all-rounder Sam Curran as he slammed 4 boundaries in the 15th over after getting settled.

Soon after his dismissal, fans flooded Twitter praising the batter for his fine knock.
