Rohit lit up the Barabati Stadium with seven sixes and nine boundaries to reach the landmark figure. After continuous criticism from former cricketers around the world, Rohit, at once, shut the noise elegantly.
Chasing 305, India got off to a great start with openers Rohit and Shubman Gill. The skipper showed aggression from the word go. Floodlight failure at the stadium led to a short halt of Rohit-Gill’s onslaught. However, the Hitman continued to fire mercilessly at the English bowlers. After Gill and Kohli’s wickets, Shreyas Iyer held the fort from the other end while Rohit went on to build his century.
