LUCKNOW, India, Oct 29, 2023 (BSS/AFP) - Skipper Rohit Sharma hit a fifty after India lost three early wickets including Virat Kohli for a nine-ball duck against defending champions England in their World Cup clash on Sunday. The unbeaten hosts lost two more wickets to slip to 40-3 before Rohit reached his second fifty of the tournament -- he also hit a century against Afghanistan -- and attempted to steady the innings with KL Rahul. Meanwhile Kohli remains one century away from equalling all-time great Sachin Tendulkar's record of 49 ODI hundreds. Former captain Kohli has been in good form at this 50-over showpiece, hitting a match-winning 95 against New Zealand last week. Kohli has scored 13,437 ODI runs at an average of over 58 since his debut in 2008.
