However, speaking on BCCI.tv after the match, the India opener made it clear that he remains focused on contributing to the team's success and is not bothered by the outside noise surrounding his future.
Alongside Shubman Gill (77), Rohit Sharma stitched together a 147-run opening partnership to keep India firmly in the chase after England had posted 387/3, courtesy of Ben Duckett's 141, Jacob Bethell's 91 and Joe Root's unbeaten 74.
Despite the defeat, Rohit's innings created history. He became the first Indian batter to score an ODI century at Lord's and the oldest Indian to register an ODI hundred. The knock was also his 46th international century as an opener, the most by an Indian opener. Notably, he used Shardul Thakur's bat to play the iconic innings at Lord's.

"Again, it's, you know, when it comes to bowling, you've got to understand these guys haven't played a lot of ODI cricket. You've got to give them some time.
