Amazing performances from skipper Rohit Sharma and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja led the hosts to a comfortable win in the second ODI.
Rohit, who entered the match after a lean patch, returned to form with a commanding innings of 119, while Ravindra Jadeja showcased his skills with the ball, achieving a three-wicket haul.
Shubman Gill (60) continued his excellent form, and Shreyas Iyer (44) along with Axar Patel (41 not out) played crucial roles in India’s chase of 305.
With his timing and shot-making back in top form, Rohit has regained much-needed form ahead of the Champions Trophy. During his innings, the skipper became the second-highest run-scoring opener for India across formats, surpassing Sachin Tendulkar and coming in just below Virender Sehwag.
