Rohit Sharma Record: Like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma also played his last match in Adelaide. Virat could not dominate in his last match in Adelaide but Rohit did not waste that opportunity. He not only capitalized on that opportunity but also made his biggest score on Adelaide ground. Rohit Sharma made many records while playing his biggest innings in Adelaide and also broke a big world record.

Rohit Sharma scored 73 runs with 2 sixes

In the second ODI against Australia at Adelaide, Rohit Sharma faced 97 balls and scored 73 runs. Hitman’s innings, played while opening, included 9 fours and 2 sixes. During this innings he completed his half-century in 74 balls. This was the 59th half-century of Rohit Sharma’s ODI career.

However, after seeing this half-century, all the fans in Adelaide were expecting a century from Rohit. But this wish of the fans could not be fulfilled. Rohit’s inning of 73 runs was brilliant because his script was written in difficult times. By playing an inning of 73 runs, Rohit Sharma not only took care of India’s collapsing innings but also took it to a point where the work of other batsmen became easier. Rohit Sharma was dismissed by Mitchell Starc. This is the sixth time in ODI cricket that Rohit has been dismissed by Starc.
