The first match of the three-match ODI series between India and England will be played at the Kennington Oval Stadium in London today. After beating the hosts 2-1 in the T20 series, now Team India will be eyeing to capture the ODI series. If India has to achieve this feat, then it is necessary to get runs from the bat of captain Rohit Sharma. Actually, in the first ODI, it is difficult for Virat Kohli to play due to a groin injury, while Dhawan will play competitive cricket for the first time after IPL. These three players have been the life of the Indian ODI team for a long time. In such a situation, the entire task of scoring runs will be on the shoulders of opener Rohit Sharma so Rohit Sharma has a golden chance.
If Rohit Sharma’s bat gets runs in the ODI series against England, then he can also shatter the world records of Sachin Tendulkar and AB de Villiers. Yes, this is the record for scoring the most centuries in a single country on foreign soil. Sachin, de Villiers, and Saeed Anwar have scored the most centuries in any one country away from home, while Rohit Sharma is also on par with these legendary players with 7 centuries in England. If Rohit manages to touch the 100 mark even once in this ODI series, then he will become the first player in the world to score the most number of centuries on any single foreign soil so Rohit Sharma has a golden chance.
