Rohit Sharma fought back against the rumors surrounding his one-day future with a statement 138 off 110 but India lost the series deciding ODI against England at the iconic Lord’s. There was a star studded crowd present at the venue with the likes of MS Dhoni, Saif Ali Khan and Yuvraj Singh among others showing up for the 3rd outing.
Virat Kohli also had a notable 74 but he couldn’t contain it and fell way before India even reached closer to the gigantic target of 387. It was a tough day for the bowlers from either sides but the English side prevailed with a 27-run victory to send the Indians back with 3 consecutive series defeats in the white-ball tour of the UK.
