In a commanding display, Indian captain Rohit Sharma silenced critics by scoring his 32nd ODI century, leading India to a four-wicket win over England in the second ODI at Cuttack's Barabati Stadium. Chasing a target of 305, Sharma's 119 off 90 balls, featuring 12 fours and seven sixes, set a solid foundation. His 136-run opening partnership with Shubman Gill (60 runs) was pivotal. Despite a mid-innings wobble, contributions from Axar Patel (41* off 43 balls) and Ravindra Jadeja ensured India reached 308-6 with 33 balls to spare, securing an unassailable 2-0 series lead. Earlier, England's innings was marked by Ben Duckett's 65 and Joe Root's 69, but they were restricted to 304, thanks in part to Jadeja's impressive 3 for 35.
