Team India has taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series by registering a 4-wicket win (ODI series win) in the second ODI match played in Cuttack. After this defeat, the England team lost both the T20 and ODI series on the India tour. This means that even after 2 matches in the ODI series against India, England has not got a single win. Actually, England won the toss and decided to bat first. England team got off to a great start with brilliant innings by Ben Duckett (65) and Joe Root (69). However, even after this, Harry Brook, Jos Buttler and Livingstone showed their batting prowess and took the score to 300. Due to their brilliant batting, the England team put up a pile of 305 runs in front of Team India. The important thing is that England, who came to bat first in Cuttack, gave India a mountainous target of 305 runs, but their plans of victory were ruined in front of the fiery batting of Indian captain Hitman Rohit Sharma.
Rohit became Player of the Match after victory (ODI series win)
The interesting thing in this match is that Rohit Sharma thrashed the England bowlers in Cuttack. Due to his fiery innings, he hit 12 fours and 7 sixes in 90 balls and played a tremendous innings of 119 runs. Due to this brilliant batting, he was also awarded the title of Player of the Match. Although the eyes of the fans were also on Kohli, but Virat failed to score big in the match. Well, due to Rohit’s quick century and innings of other batsmen, India won the match (ODI series win) before 45 overs. Rohit Sharma, who was delighted with the spectacular victory in Cuttack, said, “I really thought in pieces about how I want to bat. It is a 50-over format, a little longer than the T20 format and a little shorter than Test cricket, much shorter than Test cricket. Obviously you still have to break it down and assess what you need to do at regular intervals. And that’s what I kept doing. It was important for a batsman. The one who settles down needs to bat as deep as possible and that was my focus.”
If we had scored 350, the result could have changed (ODI series win) – Captain Jos Buttler
In such a situation, it cannot be denied that England had tried their best to give a tough fight in the series. But their dream of equalizing the series was shattered. After this defeat (ODI series win), England captain Jos Buttler looked very disappointed. Expressing his disappointment, he said, “We were getting into a good position in batting but we did not succeed. If we had scored 350, the result could have changed. But Rohit played a wonderful innings and he has been doing this for a long time. We performed well in the powerplay. But if we had reached 330-350, it could have been defended. We just want to take our steps in the right direction and stay positive.” In such a situation, it can be said that England crossed the 300 mark very easily but the hard work of the batsmen went in vain.
