Rohit Sharma is in the form of his life. The right-handed India opener and current captain, blasted his way to a 43-ball 118 single-handedly leading India to an 88-run victory against Sri Lanka in🌱 the second T20I at the Holkar stadium in Indore. The knock helped India to post the joint second-highest total in T20 International.
His second hundred in the T20I format wrote him into the record books as he reached the three-figure mark in just 35 balls, which is the joint-fastest in T20Is. His dominating performance has most experts gasping, and now he has drawn praise from South African batsman David Miller, the man whose record he equalled.
Mil🐲ler scored his 35-ball century (unbeaten 101 off 36 balls) against Bangladesh back in October 2017. The left-hande⛎d middle-order batsman took to Twitter to congratulate the Hitman of Indian cricket.
“Congrats Rohit Sharma! What a performance”, tweeted Miller.
Congrats ! What a performance. 🔥🏏

Rohit admired Miller’s talent in the same way in his reply and wrote, “Thanks David Miller just trying to match up to your clean hitting.”
