Rohit Sharma 92 Runs: Rohit Missed the Century, Gavaskar Expresses Disappointment

Rohit Sharma's 92‑run innings thrilled Indian cricket fans in the third ODI against the West Indies, but the great batsman Sunil Gavaskar appeared disappointed despite the performance. The reason was that Rohit Sharma, despite being in superb rhythm, could not complete his century. Gavaskar believes that if Rohit Sharma retires from international cricket after the 2027 ODI World Cup, he should have more ODI centuries than his age.

In the third ODI played between India and the West Indies, India batted first and posted a massive total of 351/7. Rohit Sharma played a brilliant 92‑run knock, but fell just eight runs short of a century. In response, the West Indies, powered by captain Shai Hope's unbeaten 162, chased down the target of 352 runs and won the match by five wickets. Nevertheless, India won the three‑match series 2‑1.

Why was Gavaskar disappointed at Rohit Sharma's 92 runs?
