Rohit Sharma’s dream run with the bat continued on Tuesday as he smashed his way into the record books of T20Is, becoming the first ever player to hit 4 centuries in the shortest format.
India’s stand-in skipper was in full flow in the second T20I against the Windies at Ekana Stadium in Lucknow.
Rohit completed his hundred off just 5ꩲ8 balls. He had earlier slammed centuries against South Africa, Sri Lanka and England.
As a result of Rohit’s bliz, India posted a mammoth total of 195/2 on the scoreboad after the end of 20 overs.

4th century by Rohit Sharma in T20Is – most by any batsman. Two of them have come in the last three innings. He also missed one by three runs this year – 97 vs Ireland in Malahide.
