Five entries With his 12th Test century, Rohit Sharma devastated the Dharamsala crowd

On day two of the upcoming Dharamsala Test, India skipper Rohit Sharma was at his fluid best, smashing and levelling many records on his way to a brilliant hundred.
On the first day of play, Rohit and Yashasvi Jaiswal shared an amazing 104 runs before the latter’s spectacular strike ended his innings in the middle of the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Stadium (HPCA) with an individual score of 57 off only 58 balls.

The seasoned Indian batsman was unwilling to waste what might have been a great chance to profit from a strong batting surface, even if Jaiswal missed it.

Before the two field umpires declared day one’s end, Rohit and Shubman Gill put together 31 runs for the second wicket.

Without compromising, the captain of Team India began the second day of play and solidified his side’s lead in the match.

With a single off Tom Hartley in the mid-wicket area, Rohit surpassed his three-figure milestone and achieved his 12th career century in Test cricket.

The records that Rohit Sharma accomplished throughout his century are listed below:

When it comes to the most runs scored in international cricket, Australian David Warner has been overtaken by Rohit Sharma. Warner has amassed 18817 runs so far, while Rohit now has 18820 runs under his belt.
In the history of the World Test Championship, Rohit now has nine hundred more Test tons than Babar Azam’s eight hundred. Now he has matched Steve Smith’s nine-ton total.
