I needed to play the innings.” He also added that getting the milestones will keep happening. Getting to those numbers will also happen if it has to happen.
An elated Rohit Sharma was extremely happy to have played the role that he did for Team India. Getting the kind of runs he did for the team, he mentions, was important.
Rohit Sharma successfully gets to 15,000 international runs and registers his first overseas century. On getting to this point, Virat Kohli jumps up in joy from the dressing room. An ecstatic captain Kohli punched his fists and sported a huge smile when Rohit raised his bat.
Hitman’s wife Ritika looked more relieved than excited at her husband’s game. She was present in the stands cheering on her husband’s achievement and the team’s performance!
It was a special hundred for Rohit – his first in overseas Tests. And he made sure he got there in grand style with a six off Moeen Ali.
It took eight years and 43 Test matches to get an overseas hundred and that too in England in tough conditions, there won’t be any second guess about where this knock of Rohit will rank among his eight hundred.
