Sharma is India’s second-highest run-scorer in the series thus far, with 261 runs to his name, only behind his opening partner KL Rahul. However, he has looked the most comfortable amongst all the Indian batsmen in the middle.
In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra picked Rohit Sharma to come up with a game-changing performance despite getting off to a slightly indifferent start. He said:
The former Indian opener reasoned:
Rohit Sharma was put down by Rory Burns at second slip off James Anderson’s bowling as the fielder lost sight of the ball. The Indian opener had scored only six runs by that time.
“Today’s play could bring the first overseas Test hundred by Rohit Sharma” - Aakash Chopra
Aakash Chopra hopes Rohit Sharma will register his first century in overseas conditions during the third day’s play. He elaborated:
The reputed commentator signed off by stating that the Indian team has allowed their fans to dream big. Chopra observed:
All of Rohit Sharma’s seven Test hundreds have come on home soil. The 83-run knock at Lord’s in the ongoing series is the Mumbaikar’s highest score away from home.
Rohit Sharma also does not enjoy a great overall record in overseas conditions. He has aggregated 1206 runs at an underwhelming average of 29.41 in 24 Tests in opposition territory.
