Rohit Sharma proves to be India’s lynchpin with seventh Test ton against England.

After a dismal show with the bat in the series opener, Rohit Sharma silenced his doubters by scoring his seventh Test century on the first day of the second Test against England at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Saturday.

India won the toss and elected to bat first in the morning but soon suffered a setback because of Shubman Gill’s early departure to pacer Olly Stone.
