Rohit Sharma was dismissed after scoring just two runs.

James Anderson got the better of the Indian skipper once again.

For the sixth time in the ongoing Test series against England, India captain Rohit Sharma failed to make a significant contribution with the bat. On Day 2 of the fourth Test in Ranchi, Rohit was once again dismissed by veteran English pacer James Anderson, who found the outside edge of the Indian skipper's bat and Ben Foakes completed a regulation catch behind the stumps. Rohit looked extremely tentative during his nine-ball stay on the crease and ultimately departed back to the pavilion for just two runs.

After Rohit was dismissed and walked back to the dressing room, English supporters inside the stadium waved their hands and sang 'Bye Bye Rohit' in unison.

Jaiswal was unbeaten on 27 runs off 38 balls, which he scored with the help of five boundaries. Shubman Gill, on the other hand, was batting on four runs. India trailed England by 319 runs.

Joe Root's century powers England to 353

On the second day of the fourth Test, Joe Root's stellar performance, remaining not out at 122, led England to a total of 353 before they were all out in their first innings. The former England captain hit 10 boundaries in his impressive 274-ball stay at the crease.

Starting the day at 302 for seven, Root and Ollie Robinson extended their partnership for the eighth wicket, pushing England's score further. During this innings, Robinson achieved his first Test fifty, scoring 58 runs off 96 balls.

Ravindra Jadeja was the standout bowler for India, taking the last three wickets of the innings in the morning session, ending with figures of 4/67. Akash Deep, on his debut, accounted for three wickets.
