Rohit Sharma created history on Wednesday despite India’s five-run defeat in the second ODI against Bangladesh. Rohit, who had injured his thumb, came out to bat at an unusual number 9 to rescue the Indian team. He played a sensational innings of 51 runs* off 28 balls to give India A chance but failed to get them over the line, in the end.
Rohit hit three fours and five sixes during his knock. With his third six, Rohit became the first Indian to hit 500 sixes in international cricket. He is the second batsman after Chris Gayle to hit the coveted 500 sixes. Gayle has so far hit 553 sixes in his 551 international innings. The Universe Boss has not officially announced his retirement from international cricket as we might see a few more sixes from him if he gets a chance to play for the West Indies again.
Highlights of India vs Bangladesh 2nd ODI
On Wednesday, Rohit shared a 39-run partnership with Mohammad Siraj for the ninth wicket. India scored 20 runs in the final over courtesy of Rohit’s attack on Mahmudullah. In the last over, Mustafizur Rahman put a tough challenge in front of Rohit.
With 20 runs needed in the final over, Rohit dismissed Mustafizur at third man and in the gap between point and short third man. He smashed the fifth ball down the ground with left-arm pace, but Mustafizur had the last laugh as Rohit could not score a run on the yorker, denying him room to swing, giving Bangladesh an unbeatable lead in the match. Got it. Chain.
Earlier, Rohit was left with a bloodied finger while fielding in the slip cordon during the second ODI. The 35-year-old was at second slip when Mohammad Siraj took an outside edge from Bangladesh opener Anamul Haque, but the India skipper dropped the catch and worse, injured his finger.
“India captain Rohit Sharma injured his thumb while fielding in the second ODI. He was assessed by the BCCI medical team. He has now gone for scans,” the BCCI tweeted on Wednesday.
