Rohit Sharma Scores Historic Century at Lord's Amid Future Speculation as India Lose Series
Rohit Sharma scored a historic 138 off 110 balls in the third ODI against England at Lord's, becoming the first Indian to hit an ODI century at the venue and the oldest Indian to do so. Despite his innings, India lost the match and series 2-1. The knock came amid speculation about Rohit's future in the team, with former players like Mohammad Kaif and Kamran Akmal praising his performance and resilience. Analysts noted India's strong chase but highlighted England's late surge and India's bowling shortcomings as decisive factors.
