Eng vs Ind, 1st Test, Day 2 | India loses Rohit at stroke of lunch to reach 97/1

Along with KL Rahul, he kept the four-pronged home team attack at bay.
Rohit Sharma looked solid in defence under overcast skies before indulging in his favourite pull-shot to get out at the stroke of lunch with India reaching 97 for one on day two of the first Test against England. The duo did well enough to keep the four-pronged home team attack at bay but Rohit's attempt to dispatch Ollie Robinson's short ball behind the square leg boundary didn't quite work out as he threw it away after doing all the hard work. Rohit and Rahul are India's 10th opening combination since 2018 but possibly the most effective since Dinesh Karthik and Wasim Jaffer walked in unison during the "Summer of 2007". The partnership has certainly put England on the back-foot with a deep point being stationed at times to stop the flow of boundaries.More Related News
