Rohit Sharma 17th Test Half Century

Whenever the opportunity is big, the hitman stands at the wicket for the team.

 

Whenever the opportunity is big, the hitman stands at the wicket for the team:- Rohit proved this by scoring a half-century in the fourth innings of Ranchi Test.  The run change of 193 may have been small, but it was tricky.  The wicket was favorable for spinners and in such a situation there was a need for the Indian captain to lead from the front.  Tom Hartley's fourth fuller length ball of the second over was sent wide of mid-on for four by Rohit Sharma.  From the very beginning, Hitman was playing every ball according to its merit.  Hartley kept the next ball slow, but it was on leg stump.  Rohit Sharma once again scored a four by flicking it towards mid-on.  The third ball of Tom Hartley's fourth over was a lower fulltoss.

 How many runs did Rohit Sharma take:- The Hitman hits a cracking boundary towards midwicket.  The last ball of this over was once again a juicy full toss and Rohit Sharma hit another four towards mid-on.  Whatever opportunities Hartley gave Rohit, the Hitman took full advantage of them.  The fourth ball of James Anderson's 11th over was making an angle on the middle stump.  The hitman hit a six towards long on.  England captain Ben Stokes was also impressed after seeing this shot.  Shoaib Bashir's fifth ball of the 14th over was a flighted delivery outside off.  Rohit Sharma played a sweep shot from the middle of the bat and hit a four towards deep square leg.
