India suffered a four-wicket loss to England in the second ODI of their ongoing three-match series on Sunday. The home team secured victory by four wickets, with Rohit Sharma delivering an impressive performance that silenced his critics by scoring a remarkable century. After being dismissed for a low score in the first ODI, the captain made a strong comeback in Cuttack.

In this match, India was tasked with chasing a target of 305 runs, which they accomplished with a total of 308/6 in just 44.3 overs. Rohit Sharma played a pivotal role, amassing 119 runs off 90 balls, including 12 fours and seven sixes. Additionally, fellow opener Shubman Gill contributed significantly with a score of 60 runs from 52 balls. Virat Kohli, making his return to the team, continued to struggle with his form, managing only five runs off eight deliveries.

Following his match-winning century, Rohit was seen engaged in an animated phone conversation, which piqued the curiosity of social media users. Fans speculated about the brand of phone he was using, noting that the device visible during the match was not an iPhone.

On platform X, fans concluded that he appeared to be using a OnePlus 12, as suggested by various videos.

Here is what fans had to say:

In the first innings, England managed to score 304 runs in 49.5 overs, bolstered by half-centuries from Joe Root, who made 69 runs, and Ben Duckett, who contributed 65 runs. On the Indian side, Ravindra Jadeja took three wickets.

Rohit Sharma's century arrives at a crucial juncture, especially with the Champions Trophy approaching. His recent form had been under scrutiny, leading to discussions about his potential exclusion following disappointing performances in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and the Ranji Trophy.

After the conclusion of the second ODI, Rohit emphasized the significance of the middle overs, stating, “It is quite important, as the game can shift in either direction. Effectively managing the middle overs alleviates concerns during the final stages. In both matches, including the one in Nagpur, we successfully controlled the middle overs. Taking wickets during this phase allows us to restrict the opposition. Our goal is to continually improve as a team. I reiterated after the last match that we aim to enhance our performance collectively and individually. As long as the players understand their roles and follow the guidance of the captain and coach, execution becomes straightforward.”

This match resulted in India achieving a series-clinching victory on Sunday, bringing the series score to 2-0. The third ODI is set to take place on February 12.
