“An Incredible Innings by Rohit Sharma,” the fifth user commented.
It was Rohit Sharma’s 87 and Suryakumar Yadav’s 49 that helped India post a fighting total after England skipper Jos Buttler won the toss and opted to bowl.
England are virtually out of semifinal contention while India, the only unbeaten side in the tournament, are almost there.
