Rohit Sharma first scored a century in the 20 over match and then played a big role in helping his team win by batting in both the super overs. But even after this, the runs scored by him in the Super Over will not be added to his record.

First got the team out of trouble and when they got settled, they batted with great style.
Rohit Sharma scored 121 runs on 69 balls during the match.
