The knock marked Rohit’s first international hundred at the iconic venue, widely regarded as the ‘Home of Cricket’.The 138-run innings came in just 110 balls, featuring 17 fours and five sixes, and showcased the timing, elegance and class that have defined Rohit’s illustrious ODI career. Although India fell short by 27 runs and lost the series 1-2, Rohit’s partnership with long-time batting partner Virat Kohli<\/a> thrilled the crowd at Lord’s. Kohli contributed a fluent 74 off 60 balls, including four boundaries and three sixes.Rohit finished the series as India’s leading run-scorer, amassing 175 runs in three matches at an average of 58.33 and a strike rate of 98.31, including one century.<\/p>\n The 39-year-old former captain remains one of the greatest ODI batters in history, having scored 11,895 runs in 288 matches at an average of 48.95 and a strike rate of 93.04. His record includes 34 centuries, 62 fifties and the highest individual ODI score of 264.He currently ranks seventh among the format’s all-time leading run-scorers and is India’s third-highest ODI run-getter behind Sachin Tendulkar (18,426 runs) and Virat Kohli (14,941 runs).Rohit and Kohli will next be seen in ODI action when India host the West Indies for a three-match series from September 27 to October 3.<\/div>\n![\"Rohit](\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/photo\/msid-132609775\/rohit-sharma.jpg\" "\\"\\"")
