ICC World Twenty20: Rohit Sharma slams fifty against West Indies in warm-up match

New Delhi: Indian opener Rohit Sharma smashed fifty on Thursday in the warm-up match of the ICC World Twenty20 against West Indies.

Rohit used mere 37 balls to reach the mark, laced with five boundaries and three sixes.

After losing opening partner Shikhar Dhawan early, Rohit took his time to settle down first. And after setting his eyes, he went for big shots and hit the West Indian bowlers all over the park.

In the 11th over bowled by Ashley Nurse, Rohit slammed two fours and a six to collect 16 runs.

This is the first warm up match of Team India.

Their 2nd and last warm-up tie is against robust South Africa in Mumbai on March 12.
