In Cuttack, Rohit Sharma silenced his critics with a match-winning century against England. The Indian captain had been struggling with the bat for some time, but he found his rhythm again with a 119-run knock off 90 balls.
Rohit Sharma gets angry at the DJ in Cuttack
Meanwhile, a video from this innings is going viral on social media, showing Rohit getting angry at the stadium DJ. During the 8th over of India’s innings, the floodlights went off due to a technical issue, leading to a long delay in the match. After an extended break, once the floodlights were restored, play resumed. Rohit was ready to face the ball, but the music was still playing.
At this moment, a commentator jokingly remarked that the DJ might have gone to the washroom during the break and hadn’t returned yet. Meanwhile, Rohit, frustrated by the music not stopping, was caught on camera yelling, “Music band kar, be****d.” The music was eventually turned off and the match resumed shortly after.

Despite the long break in the match, Rohit Sharma’s momentum remained unaffected as he continued to play aggressively. The Indian skipper reached his half-century in just 30 balls and built a 136-run opening partnership with Shubman Gill before Gill departed for 60 off 52 balls.
Virat Kohli fell cheaply soon after, but Rohit held one end steady, forging partnerships with Shreyas Iyer on his way to his 32nd ODI century. He struck 11 fours and 7 sixes before getting out for 119. The finishing touches were provided by Shreyas Iyer and Axar Patel, whose cameo innings did the job. India has already sealed the three-match series with a 2-0 lead, and the final ODI will be played in Ahmedabad on February 12.
