India's Rohit Sharma was dismissed in the 90s during the series match against the West Indies, joining Virat Kohli in the so‑called 90s club.
Rohit Sharma, India's senior opening batsman, was run out in the 90s during the latest encounter with the West Indies. The dismissal came as he approached his hundred, leaving him just short of the milestone.
The innings added Sharma to a small group of Indian players who have repeatedly fallen in the 90‑run range, a list that already includes Virat Kohli. Both players have now recorded multiple scores in the high‑90s without converting them into centuries.
Team officials said Sharma's knock, though incomplete, provided a solid platform for India. The side will look to build on the foundation as the series progresses, hoping the opening pair can convert future starts into big scores.
The match, part of the ongoing bilateral series, saw both teams vying for dominance, with the West Indies capitalising on the missed century to keep the contest tight.
India will aim to regroup ahead of the next fixture, with Sharma expected to resume his role at the top of the order.
