The second Test of the four-Test series between India and England is being played at M Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai. The first day of the Test was a mix of dual teams. The Indian team lost 300 wickets for 300 runs until the end of the day. Rohit Sharma, who could not do anything special with the bat in the first innings of the first Test, was in good touch. Rohit has since taken an aggressive stance against England bowlers and has taken shots around the field. In ODI format, Hitman batted 161 runs. Meanwhile, former England batsman Kevin Pietersen praised Rohit’s innings.
