New Delhi: Team India would be eyeing a clean sweep when they take on England in the third and final ODI match in Ahmedabad on Wednesday. The Men in Blue, after emerging victorious in the T20I series, maintained their fabulous run in the 50-over winning both the ODI matches in Nagpur and Cuttack, sealing the series 2-0.
In what came as good news for India, skipper Rohit Sharma finally roared back to form in style in the last ODI match with a scintillating century. The skipper played a pivotal role in India’s fight against the English side along with Shubman Gill, who has been a consistent performer for the side. Rohit, who faced a lot of criticism for his form, would want to continue his run in the final match as well which will serve as the last preparation for the ICC Champions Trophy.
Rohit on cusp of big record
