[Saba Sports News] Team India’s captain, Rohit Sharma, continued his impressive form in the ODI World Cup 2023, displaying aggressive intent alongside opening partner Shubman Gill while chasing a target of 257 runs. Unfortunately, Rohit fell just short of a well-deserved fifty during his 48-run innings. His dismissal came as a result of an attempted pull shot, which lacked the necessary height and precision, leading to his departure.
Notably, during his fiery innings, Rohit Sharma surpassed cricket legends AB de Villiers and Brian Lara to become the highest run-scorer in the history of the ODI World Cups. The ‘Hitman’ has amassed 1243 runs from 21 innings in the global mega event, leading the most runs tally.
In the ongoing ODI World Cup 2023 match against Bangladesh, Rohit Sharma’s aggressive approach set the tone for Team India’s run chase.
Despite Bangladesh’s decent total of 256/8, thanks in part to half-centuries by Tanzid Hasan and Litton Das, Rohit and Shubman Gill’s 88-run partnership gave India a strong start. Virat Kohli continued the momentum with a crucial half-century and guided India to a comfortable position, currently needing 86 runs in 23 overs to secure their fourth consecutive victory in the tournament.
