Fans in Lucknow will remember Rohit Sharma because he played a historic and explosive inning of 111 runs off 61 balls at the Ekana Stadium on November 6, 2018, becoming the first player in T20I history to score four centuries.
Continuous rain and rising water levels in the Gomti River have created flood-like conditions near the Ekana Stadium, resulting in severe knee-deep waterlogging in the underpass near Gate No. 2 that is causing trouble for both two-wheelers and four-wheelers.
Shreyas Iyer serves as the captain of the Indian squad for the five-match T20 series against West Indies.
