Twitterati applaud Rohit Sharma’s heroic 99

Once again, Rohit has put team India in a commanding position from where they can register their first win in the series.

The talented Indian opener Rohit Sharma could have scored another century in the ongoing fifth match of the One-Day International (ODI) series between Australia and India but a small error didn’t let him achieve fruitful results. His love for breaking records is nothing new to the cricketing world. He has been in an amazing form throughout the  series against Australia.

Before this, Rohit had already scored two hundreds and this would have been his third ton, which would have made him the only batsman to score three centuries in a series in Australia. During this course, Rohit also completed his 5000 ODI runs in his blazing career. He also completed his 400 runs in this series, which is the most by any Indian batsman outside India..

Once again, Rohit has put team India in a commanding position from where they can register their first win in the series. Social media reacted to his breezy knock. Check out the pick of the tweets here:

99 was so nervous of Rohit Sharma that it met him after 8 Years of his debut. #respect #AUSvaIND

Still, another fantastic, mature knock from Rohit Sharma. His greatest weakness used to be his temperament; now it’s his biggest strength.
