  • Rohit Sharma: Nervous nineties.

    Rohit Sharma gave India a very good platform in the match against Pakistan at Edgbaston, Birmingham on Sunday.

    Opening the innings, he looked on course for a century before he was run-out for 91 which came from 119 deliveries. This was the third occasion that he was out in the nineties in ODI cricket.

    In fact, one of the two previous instances also saw Rohit run-out. In December 2011, in a match against West Indies in Ahmedabad, he was dismissed in the same mode for 95.

    The other occasion when Rohit was dismissed in the nineties in ODIs was in January 2016 when he fell one run short of a hundred against Australia in Sydney.

    There has been also the one occurrence of the right-handed batsman remaining unbeaten on 90 as India chased down a target of 270 against West Indies in Visakhapatnam in 2011.
