Former Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma has intensified his preparations before the three-match ODI series against England. Team India is going through a bad phase these days in the T20I series and now only 2 matches are left in the series. After this, a 3-match ODI series will be played, for which Rohit Sharma has reached England. Rohit Sharma has started practicing after reaching London before the scheduled time to adapt himself to the conditions in England.
After retiring from Test and T20I cricket, Rohit Sharma now plays only ODI cricket. In such a situation, to perform better in challenging conditions like England, he has decided to reach early and practice. Rohit Sharma was recently seen playing ODI series against Afghanistan on home soil. In this series, he scored 143 runs with the help of one half-century.
Rohit’s record in England is excellent
Rohit Sharma’s ODI record on English soil has been very excellent. Here he has scored 1428 runs in 27 innings at an excellent average of 64.90.
