India missed out on creating history at Lord’s, Rohit’s courageous century went in vain; ENG won by 27 runs after scoring 387 runs

In the third ODI played at Lord’s, England won by 27 runs. Host England had set a huge target of 387 runs thanks to the ‘historic’ innings of Ben Duckett (141 runs). In reply, Team India missed out on creating history, and could score only 360 runs in the stipulated overs. Rohit Sharma scored 138 more for India Virat Kohli Played an inning of 74 runs, but both of them could only reduce the margin of defeat. However, while chasing the target of 388 runs, at one time Team India was ahead of England. It seemed that the history of Indian cricket would change today, but England won in the last overs. With this victory, England won the three-match series 2-1.

Team India, which came out to chase the record run of 388 runs, was given a great start by captain Shubman Gill and ‘Hitman’ Rohit Sharma. Both added 147 runs for the first wicket in 24.2 overs. Captain Gill was out after scoring 77 runs in 84 balls. 10 fours and one six came from his bat.

After this Rohit made a century partnership with Virat Kohli. Both were playing their 400th match together. In this historic match, both of them made a century partnership on the 21st. India’s second wicket fell in the 39th over at the score of 260. Rohit Sharma was out after scoring 138 runs in 110 balls. He hit 17 fours and 5 sixes. This was the first century of any Indian at Lord’s.

After Rohit’s dismissal, India’s hopes vanished again, but Virat Kohli was still at the crease. He also changed gears with time, but with the dismissal of Ishan Kishan 14 off 12 balls and Shreyas Iyer 00, the pressure on him became too much. When Virat was out after scoring 74 runs in 60 balls, all the remaining hopes of India were also lost. Virat hit 4 fours and 3 sixes.

KL Rahul could score only 12 runs in eight balls and Akshar Patel could score only two runs in three balls. Gurnoor Brar returned unbeaten on 18 runs in 14 balls and Arshdeep Singh returned unbeaten on 15 runs in six balls. Brar hit a four and a six. Whereas Arshdeep hit three fours.

England captain Harry Brook showed a lot of cleverness in his captaincy. He made amazing changes in bowling. Jacob Bethel bowling seven overs became the main reason for England’s victory, because apart from him, Indian batsmen were dominating all the bowlers. Apart from this, England also did excellent fielding, which became the reason for India’s defeat.

Earlier in batting, Ben Duckett scored 141 runs, Jacob Bethel scored 91 runs and Joe Root scored unbeaten 74 runs for England. Root remained unbeaten in the entire three-match series. He was not out in any match. In the end, Jos Buttler scored 41 runs in 13 balls, taking England’s score close to 400.
