The Indian team, running 1-2 in the 5 Test series, now has to play the last match at the Oval ground, where India has won only one Test in the last 50 years. And, where India has won only 2 in 15 Tests played. It is clear that for Team India, which draws the fourth Test played in Manchester, the path to draw the series by winning the last Test is not easy. And, if this difficult path has to be made possible. That is, if England have to be defeated at the oval, then someone will have to become a ‘hitman’.
First win in 50 years came in 2021
Hitman means Rohit Sharma. Rohit Sharma was the hero of the only victory that Team India has won at the Oval in 50 years. India won the Test in the year 2021 under the captaincy of Virat Kohli, which was his first Test win after 1971 at the Oval. Meaning, India won that test after 50 years.
Somebody has to become a ‘hitman’
4 years after the win in 2021 at the Oval, now there is a chance to rectify history and record by registering another win. The players of Team India being in form are also auspicious signs for him. But, the matter will not be made until someone does wonders like Rohit Sharma. What Rohit Sharma did in the year 2021 4 years ago, which won Team India. First see that.
Rohit Sharma won at Oval due to amazing
India’s first innings in that Test played under Virat’s captaincy was reduced to 191 runs. In response, England scored 290 runs in their first innings and took the lead of 101 runs in the first innings. But, in the second innings, India scored 466 runs. Rohit Sharma had a big hand in taking Team India to this score, who hit 127 runs as an opener. Thanks to this century of Rohit, India could score a big score and could score a total of 368 runs in front of England.
The England team could score only 210 runs in the second innings to chase the 368 -run total of 368 runs from India and lost the match by 157 runs. Rohit Sharma, who scored a century in the second innings, was elected the hero of this victory of India. He was given the Player of the Match.
Talking about the current Team India, there is no shortage of capable players in it. He is also scoring a century in the series and scoring runs. But, any of them will have to play the role of Rohit Sharma. By the way, there should not be such a situation that the team is backward but if such situations come, then it will be interesting to see who becomes a ‘hitman’?
