Watch: Rohit Sharma Reaches HUNDRED With a SIXÂ
During the second session on Day 3, Indian opener Rohit Sharma brought up his first overseas Test hundred with a spectacular six down the ground off Moeen Ali’s bowling. Rohit has shown sensational temperament and composure in the second innings of the Oval Test match to counter the quality England bowling line-up. This is the eight century in the longest format for the Indian opener and the first one away from home.
It has been an innings of pure class and the Indian opener has batted with a lot of responsibility in challenging conditions especially playing with a lot of patience. Rohit would desperately want to convert this century into a much bigger knock. The 34-year-old Indian batsman has already scored more than 300 runs in this Test series that includes two fifties and one century.
