Twitter exploded after Rohit Sharma slammed his first away test in the India-England fourth test match at the Oval. The International Cricket Council (ICC) was one of the first to congratulate Rohit on his superb effort. The opener from India had been playing well for some time, but this century was slipping away from him. That all changed on Saturday when Rohit slammed his 8th test ton in the second round of India to lead his superb comeback on Day 3.
Rohit may have been dropped in the slips by Rory Burns, but few would blame the 34-year-old who was his eighth century in 43 tests and the first in 25 overseas.
After taking 145 bullets to reach the slowest half-century of his testing career, Rohit stepped up a gear and needed just 59 more deliveries to complete a hundred bullets.
Rohit hit his hundred with a six from Moeen Ali in the 64th of the Indian round. He took India 191-1 at Tea on Day 3, playing a major role in India’s 100-Run lead so far.
