Team India came out all guns blazing in the T20I series against England led by skipper Rohit Sharma, who seemed keen on taking on the bowlers and utilising the field restrictions in the first six overs. Rohit returned with scores of 24, 31 and 11 in the three games where India won two of them.
Rohit will be the man in charge for the Men in Blue again with the bat at the top as he will be joined by his regular opening partner Shikhar Dhawan on Tuesday. Rohit will want a big score under his belt after an indifferent IPL season and if he gets a big score, which is a three-figure mark, the 35-year-old opener could achieve a huge milestone.
Rohit is currently tied on 7 centuries – the most by a batter in an overseas nation – with Sachin Tendulkar, AB de Villiers and Saeed Anwar. If he gets even a single century in these three games, Rohit will surpass all three of them as he will have 8 centuries in ODIs in England.
While the combination of Rohit and Dhawan will return at the top of the order, India might be would former skipper Virat Kohli for the series opener after he suffered a groin strain in the third T20I.
