Rohit Sharma brought up his sixth Test century in the ongoing third Test between India vs South Africa in Ranchi on Saturday. In the process, Rohit Sharma became only the second Indian opener after Sunil Gavaskar to hit three or more hundreds in one Test series. The India right-hander scored 13 fours and hit four maximums en route to his hundred.
The 32-year-old put on 150-plus stand for the fourth wicket with Ajinkya Rahane.
In the match, India won the toss and opted to bat. Kagiso Rabada removed Mayank Agarwal for 10 and he followed up the good start by removing Cheteshwar Pujara for a duck.
This was Rohit’s third 100-plus score in the series. The right-hander with his 16th six also went past Shimron Hetmyer to become the player with most number of sixes in a Test series.
