As Rohit Sharma sent the Sri Lankan bowlers on a leather hunt en route a 35-ball 100, ꦦthe joint-fastest in T20Is along with David Miller.
He kept going after the century as well and it seemed like the unthinkable could happen, Chris Gayle‘s record of unbeaten 175 looked in danger but eventually on the 43rd ball, he was foxed on a slower delivery but not before scoring a magnificent 118 runs. He forced his way to 12 boundaries and ten sixes scoring with a stupendous strike rate of 124.
Twitterati went absolutely crazy and couldn’t stop praising Rohit, here are some of the best reactions:
Congrats ! What a performance. 🔥🏏
