India captain Rohit Sharma has been at his best in the ongoing fifth Test against England. The last match of the series, which the hosts have already won, will be held at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala.
Rohit Sharma was excellent with his leadership in the ongoing match against England. After India were put in to bat first, he made brilliant changes to the bowling and put pressure on the opposition from the start. Aside from his leadership, his mood on the field was something to appreciate.
This was quite evident when England batsman Jonny Bairstow, who is playing his 100th Test match, came out to bat in the 38th over of the first innings game and captain Rohit Sharma gave some amusing advice to spinner Kuldeep Yadav, who was bowling. At the time.
Rohit Sharma was heard telling Kuldeep Yadav that he can throw anything at Jonny Bairstow. The leg-spinning man responded amusingly and agreed with the captain. The captain was heard saying: “I also gave him some.”

Rohit Sharma’s advice worked for Kuldeep Yadav as Jonny Bairstow failed to make a bigger impact in his 100th game. He tried to play aggressively but couldn’t continue at first as he managed 29 runs off 18 balls. He died because of the wrist spinner, which bothered him a lot during his stay at the crease.
Kuldeep Yadav bowled a fuller googly and bowled Bairstow. The ball caught the weak outside edge and was easily caught by wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel. With the England keeper-batsman’s wicket, the spinner completed his 50th Test wicket and became the fastest Indian to achieve the feat by balls.
Kuldeep Yadav finished with five wickets, while Ravichandran Ashwin bagged 4 wickets. Ravindra Jadeja was also in the wickets column. India ended England’s innings with just 218 runs. They picked the last 8 wickets quickly as all 10 wickets went to the spinners.
Rohit Sharma gives India a passionate start in response to England’s 218
After India beat England by just 218 runs, captain Rohit Sharma has given India a thrilling start to the ongoing game. The first batsman came out with positive intentions and played some sensational shots, making sure not to let the bowlers settle.
Rohit Sharma along with Yashasvi Jaiswal added 70+ runs for the opening partnership and with the way they are batting, they would want to capitalize on the start and add as many runs as possible, taking England out of the game.
Rohit Sharma scored a blistering century in the Rajkot Test and then followed it up with a half-century in the second innings of the Ranchi Test. He has led from the front and would be eager to lead his team to win the current match. The batsman seems ready for a big knock and his fans would also expect the same.
