Thanks to opener Rohit’s third double century in the 50-over format, India posted a mammoth 392/4 in 50 overs.
His knock of 208 not-out came off 153 balls with 13 fours and 12 sixes. The moment became more special for Rohit as his wife Ritika Sajdeh was also✅ present in the stadium on the day of their second marriage annive🅺rsary.
Well, when Team India reached the hotel after beating Sri Lanka by 141 runs, Rohit’s teammates Ajinkya Rahane and Yuzvendra Chahal smeared cake on their captain’s face.
How can we letꦬ our double centurion go without cutting a 🎂 but and were not going to stop at that.
