Rohit Sharma ka Adelaide Century Chhut Gaya! Starc ne Big Moment Chheen Liya, Par Ek Naya Record Banaa Diya
Adelaide: Rohit Sharma ne ek baar fir apni batting se sabko impress kar diya, lekin apna century pura karne se pehle Mitchell Starc ne unhe rok diya. Phir bhi, Rohit ne is match me ek bada record apne naam kar liya.
Rohit Sharma ne banaye 73 run, par century se reh gaye kuch door
Second ODI me Australia ke khilaaf Rohit Sharma ne shuruaat me struggle kiya. Pehle 20 balls me unhone bahut kam run banaye, jo 2019 World Cup ke baad se unka slowest start tha. Lekin fir unhone apna rhythm pakda aur shandar shots khelny lage.
Rohit ne 74 balls me apna fifty complete kiya, jo unka 2014 ke baad sabse slow fifty tha. Jaise hi lag raha tha ke Rohit apna classic ODI hundred banane wale hain, Starc wapas attack par aaye aur unka plan bigaad diya. Unhone Rohit ko ek short ball daali jo thoda niche rahi, aur Rohit ne usse fine leg ke paas flat shot maara — seedha fielder ke haath me!
Rohit pitch par khade reh gaye, disbelief me. Starc bhi hansi rok nahi paaye. Commentary box me Ravi Shastri ne kaha, “He would be gutted.”
Rohit Sharma ne Sourav Ganguly ko peeche chhoda, aur Australia me likha naya itihas
Is match me Rohit ne apni career ki ek aur badi milestone achieve ki. Unhone Sourav Ganguly ko peeche chhodte hue India ke third-highest ODI run-scorer ban gaye. Sirf Sachin Tendulkar aur Virat Kohli hi unse aage hain.
Rohit ka yeh knock unke liye khaas isliye bhi raha kyunki unhone Australia me 1000 ODI runs poore karne wale pehle Indian batter ban gaye. Ye achievement unke consistency aur overseas form ka saboot hai.
Unka innings 73 runs ka tha, 97 balls me aaya, jisme unhone 7 fours aur 2 massive sixes lagaye. Mitchell Owen ke against unka pull shot to khas highlight raha — typical ‘Hitman’ style!
Career milestones aur stats
Rohit Sharma ke ab tak ke ODI career me 275 matches me 11,249 runs ho gaye hain, 48.69 ke average ke sath. Unke naam 32 centuries aur 59 fifties hain, aur unka best score ab bhi 264 hai — jo ab tak ka highest individual score in ODIs hai.
Unhone Ganguly (11,121 runs in 308 matches) ko peeche chhoda. Ab unse aage sirf Sachin Tendulkar (18,426 runs) aur Virat Kohli (14,181 runs) hain.
Australia me Rohit ab fifth overall player hain jinke 1000+ ODI runs hain. Unke Melbourne aur Sydney me pehle bhi match-winning centuries rahe hain.
Rohit ka form wapas, India ke liye good news
Australia ne toss jeet kar pehle bowling li, jisse conditions thodi tricky thi. Rohit ne patience dikhaya, strike rotate kiya aur bad me controlled aggression ke sath innings ko anchor kiya. Unka strike rate 75.26 raha, jo unke adaptability ko dikhata hai.
2022 ke baad se unhone 19 baar 50+ score kiya hai, aur yeh sirf doosri baar tha jab unhone half-century 100 ke strike rate ke neeche banayi. 2025 me unhone ab tak 10 innings me 383 runs banaye hain, ek century aur do fifties ke sath.
Series me Australia abhi 1-0 se aage hai, lekin Rohit ka form wapas aana aur naya record banana India ke liye confidence booster hai. Ab sabki nazar series decider par hogi!
