India opener Rohit Sharma smashed his sixth hundred on Day 1🌄 of the ongoing third Test against South Africa in Ranchi on Saturday.
Rohit equaled former captains MAK Pataudi and MS Dhoni on the list of most hundreds in Test cricket by India batsmen. While M🍌SD scored six tons in 90 Tests, Rohit reached the landmark in just his 30th Test.
With the 3rd hundred of the ongoing series, Rohit also became the second Indian opener after batting great 💯Sunil Gavaskar to score three or more Test🐭 hundreds in a series.
