Rohit Sharma was absolutely on fire as his 76* helped India win comfortably. (P.C.:Twitter)Rohit Sharma had an incredible outing both as captain and opener as India beat England by 10 wickets for the first time in ODI history at The Oval on Tuesday (July 12). England had just 111 runs to defend and that was probably never going to challenge India's mighty batting line-up.Both Rohit and Shikhar Dhawan ensured that no other Indian batter was required as they brought up their 18th hundred-run stand in ODIs. A lot of questions had been raised ahead of the 1st ODI about Rohit Sharma's form as he hadn't scored big for a while.However, the 'Hitman' smashed 76 runs from just 58 deliveries and ensured that the visitors had absolutely no problem in getting to the total. Fans on Twitter were thrilled to see the Indian captain back in form as well as India winning the game. Here are some of the reactions:Srinjoy Sanyal@srinjoysanyal07India win an ODI at The Oval for the first time since 2007. Interestingly, Sourav Ganguly (53) and Sachin Tendulkar (94) had also put on a 100-plus opening stand. #INDvsENG91India win an ODI at The Oval for the first time since 2007.

However, their bowlers struggled to bowl with the same consistency as the Indian bowlers.After pitching the ball up didn't work for the hosts, they began to unleash a barrage of short balls at Rohit Sharma. Despite knowing how strong the 35-year-old was against that length, the hosts continued to feed him those deliveries and he cashed in magnificently.All of Sharma's five sixes were excellent pull shots, which proved once again that Rohit wasn't going to be fazed by that line and length. Shikhar Dhawan played a competitive game for India after quite a while. He would have definitely been happy to get a few runs under his belt while remaining unbeaten.India will take a lot of heart from this magnificent performance into the second ODI to be played at Lord's on July 14.
