'It Would've Felt A Lot Worse If We'd Lost': Root Unfazed By Missing Hundred In 2nd ODI
Joe Root: Joe Root said missing out on a century did not bother him after England’s four-wicket win over India in the second ODI, insisting defeat would have been far more painful than finishing unbeaten on 99.
Root anchored England’s chase of 234 with a composed 99 not out off 133 balls, hitting nine fours to guide the hosts to 234/6 in 44.1 overs at Sophia Gardens on Friday. The victory levelled the three-match series 1-1 and forced a winner-takes-all decider at Lord’s on Sunday.
The former England captain was left stranded one run short of his century when Gus Atkinson hit the winning boundary with 35 balls to spare. However, Root said the result mattered much more than the personal milestone.
