Rohit Sharma converted his sixth Test hundred i♔nto a maiden double century in the longest format as the Proteas bowlers were put to the sword 🐠on Day 2 of the third Test in Ranchi.
In the process, Rohit joined the likes of Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag to becom❀e the🤪 only cricketers who have scored a double hundred in both ODIs and Test matches.
Rohit’s double hundred on Sunday helped India tighten their grip on the third and final Test against South Africa. He smashed the Proteas bowlers to all parts of the ground en route to his maiden double century.
After the stupendous knock, Twitterati couldn’t stop heaping praises on Rohit for the sheer masterclass.
Take a bow, HITMAN 💯💯
