The Indian side dominated England throughout the opening day of the ongoing second Test match at the iconic Lord’s Stadium. All thanks to the gutsy knock of 83 runs by Rohit Sharma and a classy century by KL Rahul, the Indian cricket team has taken the driver’s seat in the ongoing Test.
The ‘Hitman’ was seen in his beast avatar as he attacked the loose deliveries that the England bowlers offered and allowed India to dominate the opposition. However, the star opener missed out on his much-deserved century. His knock was laced with 11 fours and a six.
Rohit also formed a formidable partnership of 126-run with KL Rahul, who smashed a stunning century to set the platform for a massive total for his side. Apart from these two, the Indian skipper Virat Kohli also contributed with 42 vital learns to the team total and put on a 117-run stand with Rahul as well.
Later, after the end of the opening day at Lord’s Stadium, the ‘Hitman’ left everyone in splits with his reply to a reporter. Well, a reporter asked Rohit Sharma that if the Indian team manages to defeat England in the second Test match, it will be a wonderful thing for the whole nation as they could celebrate India’s Test match win with Independence Day on August 15.
Rohit, who wasn’t expecting this, came up with a hilarious reply. He hilariously gave the reporter a salute and admitted that if something like this happens, it would be a big thing for the Indian side.
The video of the same has been going viral on the internet. Here, watch the video:
