Rohit Sharma's 35-ball century powers India to record 260/5 against Sri Lanka (22-Dec-17)

Image
Rohit Sharma is enjoying a fabulous run towards the end of 2017. After slamming the third double hundred of his career in ODI cricket, Sharma hammered his second T20I hundred on Friday against Sri Lanka. His century, which came off just 35 balls, also saw him equal the record of the fastest T20I hundred. His blitzkrieg innings off 118 were laced with 10 sixes and 12 fours. He was eventually dismissed for 118 (43 balls) by Akila Dananjaya off Dushmantha Chameera on the fourth ball of the 13th over. Rohit’s hundred is also the fastest T20I century by an Indian.  Along with KL Rahul, he added 165 runs for the opening wicket and powered India’s total to 260. David Miller had also achieved the same feat against Bangladesh at Potchefstroom a few months ago. Not only has the Hitman’s innings left cricketing fraternity in awe and wonder but also left Twitterati in a tizzy. Perera: It's a tough series for us. Too big a target to chase. Tharanga and Kusal batted very well, gi...

 Rohit Sharma scores 208*, first batsman to hit three ODI double hundreds Rohit Sharma stepped into a realm few can hope to enter. His third One-Day International double hundred was a clinical exhibition of punishing batsmanship by a man under pressure to perform. He had lost his first match as captain, failed as a batsman, and had critics breathing down his neck. But one magical knock changed all that. It was cold and gloomy at the PCA Stadium when the toss for the second ODI was taken on Wednesday. Sri Lanka rightly opted to field and it was the only aspect of the game that went in its favour. Rohit and Shikhar Dhawan put the attack to the sword and India ended up with a total of 392. Despite an unbeaten 111 by Angelo Mathews, it was beyond Sri Lanka’s reach and India was home by 141 runs. For Shreyas Iyer too there was much to take home from this contest even though he fell 12 short of a century in only his second ODI. His 213-run second-wicket stand with Rohit, after ...
