Rohit closes in on century; India set for huge score

November 06, 2018 20:27

India 169-2 (18 ovs) vs WI | Scorecard

Windies captain Brathwaite comes back into the attack. Two singles off the first two balls before Rahul drills the third ball through the covers for a four. He makes room and slashes the next ball square on the off-side for another boundary.

Rahul then tries to paddle the fast bowler but ends up deflecting a full toss off his bat on to the grill of his helmet for a single and Rohit keeps strike with one from the last ball.

Rohit comes down the track and lofts spinner Pierre back over his head for a straight six despite getting it off the bottom of the bat.

Pierre gifts Rohit a full toss which he hits through the gap between point and short thirdman for a four to take his score into the 90s.

Rohit takes a quiet single on the off-side before Pierre struggles with his line and ends up bowling two wides in a row.

Rahul joins in the party as he clubs a length ball straight back over the bowler's head for a six.

He reverse sweeps the last ball and picks up a couple as he fails to make clean connection as Pierre goes for 21 runs in the over.
