IND vs ENG: In the fifth match of the Test series being played in Dharamsala, after bowling out England for 218 runs on the first day, the Indian team had scored 135 runs at the loss of one wicket. On the second day also, Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill thrashed the English bowlers and both the batsmen broke the back of the English team by scoring centuries. India's score in 61 overs was 275 runs for one wicket, but then England captain Ben Stokes came to bowl.
Rohit Sharma is on all fours
This was the second over after lunch on the second day in the fifth Test match, where the bowling angle of Ben Stokes was such that the ball would come in but after taking the ball, the ball changed the angle and hit the stumps. Even England coach Brendon McCullum was seen smiling after seeing this magical ball. Rohit Sharma played an innings of 103 runs in 162 balls and this was the 12th century of his Test career. Rohit also hit 13 fours and 3 brilliant sixes during his century innings. After about one over of this ball, Shubman Gill also left, who played an innings of 110 runs in 150 balls.

This fact may surprise you that Ben Stokes had not bowled for the last 9 months. After 9 months, on his very first ball, he dismissed a batsman who was already set at the crease after scoring a century. Stokes was earlier seen bowling in the series against Australia in the month of June 2023.
India has maintained dominance in the fifth test
Rohit Sharma may have got dodged by the magical ball of Ben Stokes, but if we talk about the fifth Test match, India has completely dominated. India has scored more than 400 runs in the first innings, due to which the team's lead has increased to more than 200 runs, which will not be easy for the England team to overcome. The English team, which is already trailing 3-1 in the series, is also in danger of an innings defeat in the fifth Test match.
