Fans were impressed with the way Rohit Sharma batted in the match and took to X.com to shower rich praise on him for his heroics.
The Indian skipper was going through a lengthy lean patch in international cricket for a very long time. He looked miserable with the bat and was troubled by both pace and spin.
There were calls for his sacking as well, but Rohit Sharma decided to shut down the critics with his performance in the Cuttack ODI. He played his natural attacking game in the match despite averaging close to 12 in his last 17 international innings.
He wasn't satisfied with fifty and looked committed to converting it into a big score. Rohit Sharma mixed caution with aggression as his innings further progressed and completed his ton off just 76 balls - his second-fastest ever in ODIs. The Indian skipper didn't do any over-the-top celebration after reaching the triple-figure mark but looked quite satisfied.

Who Were the Top Performers For India In The Previous ODI vs England?
The top performer was Shubman Gill (87 off 96), who also won the Player of the Match award. He played a brilliant knock, stabilizing the innings after the fall of early wickets. His well-paced innings ensured India never felt pressure while chasing.
Other notable performers were Axar Patel (52 off 47 & 1/38), Ravindra Jadeja ( 12* & 3/26) and Harshit Rana (3/53). Axar was promoted to No.5 in the batting order and he built a crucial 108-run partnership with Shubman Gill.
Talking about Harshit Rana, he shined on his ODI debut after being taken to the cleaners initially. He bounced back to dismiss three star batters, including Ben Duckett and Liam Livingstone.
