London, August 3 (H.S.) – Former Indian Test captain Rohit Sharma was present at The Oval on Saturday to watch the third day’s play of the ongoing fifth Test match between India and England. Rohit, who recently retired from Test cricket, was seen in the stands during Yashasvi Jaiswal’s brilliant century knock.
A video of Rohit Sharma watching the match from inside the stadium has gone viral on social media. The current ODI captain of India, Rohit attended the match on a day when India started strongly in the first session. Yashasvi Jaiswal and nightwatchman Akash Deep stitched together a crucial 100-run partnership for the third wicket. However, India lost captain Shubman Gill’s wicket soon after lunch.
Rohit arrived at the stadium shortly after the start of play on Saturday. He had announced his retirement from Test cricket before the start of the England series. Following Rohit’s departure from captaincy, Shubman Gill has taken over as captain of the Test team. Although Rohit has retired from both Test and T20 formats, he continues to lead India’s ODI side. He recently led India to a Champions Trophy victory and announced his retirement from T20 cricket after guiding India to the T20 World Cup title.
By lunch on the third day, India had reached 254/5 in their second innings, establishing a lead of 231 runs after trailing by 23 in the first innings. India had resumed the day at 75/2. The unbeaten overnight batsmen Yashasvi Jaiswal and Akash Deep added 107 runs for the third wicket, putting India in a strong position. Jamie Overton broke the partnership just before lunch by dismissing Akash Deep, who scored 66 runs off 94 balls, including 12 boundaries — his maiden Test half-century.
