The comments came after Rohit and Kohli stitched together another crucial stand in the series decider. Although India eventually lost the match by 27 runs while chasing 388 and surrendered the three-match ODI series 2-1, the experienced pair once again showed why they have been the backbone of India's batting for well over a decade. Also, Rohit Sharma broke his silence on the ODI retirement noise after his Lord's century.
Only five pairs have featured together in more international matches than Rohit and Kohli. Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene lead the list with 550 matches, followed by Tillakaratne Dilshan and Jayawardene (426), Sangakkara and Dilshan (418), Sanath Jayasuriya and Muttiah Muralitharan (408), and South Africa's Jacques Kallis and Mark Boucher (407). Rohit and Kohli have now reached the 400-match milestone, moving ahead of Indian greats Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid, who played 391 internationals together.
Overall, Rohit Sharma scored 138 runs off 110 balls, with 17 fours and 5 sixes, while Kohli slammed 74 runs off 60 balls with 4 fours and 3 sixes.

Rohit also spoke about his love for batting in England, a country where he has consistently produced impressive ODI performances over the years. The century at Lord's was another reminder of his success in English conditions. Across 30 ODIs in England, Rohit has scored 1,603 runs at an outstanding average of 64.12, including eight centuries and seven half-centuries, making him one of the most successful visiting batters in the country.
"I enjoyed it. But again, like I said, a little disappointed with the result. We couldn't, you know, finish off the game and get the result in our favor. But yeah, we have to move on from this and try and see how we can, you know, get better and see what better we can do as a group. Not just individuals. It's about, you know, the group, the collective effort from the group is needed. And that's what I think the team should be focusing on."
