Rohit Sharma century India vs England Test : When England’s bowlers were continuously dominating from one side. Three batsmen of the Indian team were out, at that time the captain stood up with his chest held high and scored a century. Yes, we are talking about the captain of the Indian cricket team and the famous hitman all over the world, Rohit Sharma, who has scored a century in the third test against England in Rajkot. Along with this, he has also made many new records.
Rohit’s second century in international cricket this year
Rohit Sharma scored his last Test century in July last year, this was the time when the Indian team went on the West Indies tour. That means, after about six months, he has scored a century in Test. However, this year he has managed to score his second century. In the same year, when Afghanistan team came to tour India, Rohit Sharma played a century in T20 International. His century came in Bengaluru. Now in Rajkot also he has scored an excellent century with his bat. This century also becomes special because when Rohit came to bat with Sharma, his partner Yashasvi Jaiswal was out in the beginning itself. Shubhman Gill could not even open his account. Whereas Rajat Patidar returned to the pavilion cheaply.
The gamble of sending Jadeja first worked
When three wickets fell for India, it was expected that Sarfaraz Ahmed or Dhruv Jurail, who is debuting in this Test, would come to bat, but coach Rahul Dravid surprised everyone and sent Ravindra Jadeja. This might have been done so that a left-handed batsman could also be at the crease. Also Rajkot is Jadeja’s home ground. This ploy worked. First Rohit and Ravindra together got the Indian team out of trouble and then helped the team to reach a big score. Two Tests have been played against England so far, this is the third match. That means this is the fifth innings. Before this innings, there had not been a partnership of more than 100 runs even once, but this time it happened for the first time. Rohit and Jadeja together added more than 100 runs for the fourth wicket.
Joe Root left behind, equal to AB de Villiers
With this century, Rohit Sharma has left Joe Root behind in terms of scoring most centuries in international cricket. Now he has reached the level of AB de Villiers of South Africa. Joe Root has 46 centuries in 340 matches, while AB de Villiers has managed to score 47 centuries after playing 420 matches. Now former captain Rahul Dravid has come on the target of Rohit Sharma. Who has scored 40 centuries in international cricket.
Left behind MS Dhoni in terms of scoring most centuries in Tests
Rohit Sharma completed his century after facing 157 balls in today’s match. During this period, 11 fours and two skyscraper sixes came from his bat. He has left MS Dhoni behind by hitting two sixes. MS Dhoni has hit 78 sixes in test cricket. Now Rohit Sharma has hit 79 sixes in this format. This means that now he has become the Test player who has hit the most number of sixes for India. At number one is Virender Sehwag, who has hit 91 sixes in Test cricket.
