On the opening day of the third Test between India and England, skipper Rohit Sharma accomplished a remarkable achievement on Thursday. Rohit reached 1000 runs in Test cricket against England with the century.
Prior to Thursday, Rohit Sharma’s performance in the IND vs. ENG series wasn’t at its peak. There were many doubts regarding the Indian captain’s form and fitness after he was dismissed early in the first two Tests. But Rohit silenced his detractors on the first day of the IND vs. ENG 3rd Test at Rajkot. Nothing can be taken away from the opener batter’s innings, even though he got his fair share of luck.
The batsman hit a century with 160 odd balls. Although the Indian skipper left at 131 runs while attempting to play a pull shot off a short ball from Mark Wood, he did so before reaching the 1000-run mark against England in Tests.
