‘350 is a pretty good score’
Opener Rohit Sharma smashed 161 while India's additional top-order batsmen fell cheaply, helping the house side build to 300-6 on the beginning day of the next Test against England at Chennai's MA Chidambaram Stadium yesterday.
At 86-3, India looked to have thrown away any chance of batting themselves right into a strong position on a pitch where works will be harder to come across as the meet progresses. But Rohit's 162-work partnership with Ajinkya Rahane dragged the hosts back to the contest, before England dismissed both in the ultimate session. "Upon this wicket, 350 will be a very good score. We even now have four wickets and I'm sure they'd make an effort to bat so long as practical," Rohit told a video tutorial conference. "I'm little disappointed to obtain out like this but happy that the team is in an excellent position."
Following the opening Test was enjoyed nowadays, 15,000 fans were allowed back in the stadium, and Rohit gave them plenty to cheer about.
