Rohit Sharma Scripts History With Ton Vs Australia

Nagpur: As the lone warrior in the opening Test match in Nagpur against Australia, Rohit Sharma became the first-ever Indian captain to score a century in all 3 formats.

Rohit has been a standout batter for India, reaching his ninth Test century, off 171 deliveries on the second afternoon of the match.

This was his ninth Test century and eighth at home and first as a captain since he took over the responsibility from Virat Kohli last year.

With that, he joined Babar Azam, Faf du Plessis and Tillakaratne Dilshan to become the fourth batter to score centuries across formats as a captain.

Rohit has kept India in the driver’s seat with his 9th Test century as Ravindra Jadeja holds the other end tight.

India went five down after Nathan Lyon cleaned up Suryakumar Yadav but the duo of Rohit and Jadeja have kept the hosts going.
