Rohit Sharma's significant century, a knock of 138 runs, has concluded in the third and final One Day International against England at Lord's. His departure leaves India requiring 128 more runs to secure both the match and the series.

The accomplished Indian skipper, Rohit Sharma, has seen his impressive contribution of 138 runs brought to a close. The breakthrough came from England's Jacob Bethell, who managed to bowl Sharma, ending a partnership that had been pivotal in India's pursuit of the target.

Sharma's innings was a cornerstone of India's effort in the deciding ODI at the iconic Lord's Cricket Ground. With his departure, the team now faces a challenging situation, needing 128 runs with the remaining batsmen tasked with the responsibility of finishing the job.

The outcome of this final encounter holds considerable weight, as a victory for India would not only seal the match but also grant them the series triumph. The pressure is now squarely on the Indian middle and lower order to navigate the remaining overs and achieve the required score.
