 "India vs England: 'Shaandar', Twitterati laud Rohit Sharma as opener scores maiden overseas Test ton")
India opener Rohit Sharma notched up his maiden Test century at The Oval on Day 3 of the fourth Test against hosts England. The ‘Hitman’ appeared extremely patient in his knock but once again backed his instinct, getting to the milestone in style, with a massive six over long on off Moeen Ali. He is currently unbeaten on 103 off 218 deliveries, with 12 fours and a six in knock. His partner, Cheteshwar Pujara (48), meanwhile, looks positive and is inching closer to his half century. As far as the match situation is concerned, India are 199/1 at tea, with a lead of 100 runs. Twitterati were in awe of the Hitman after he completed a century to remember. Here are a few reactions: The wait’s over
Indian cricket has waited and waited... and then waited some more... for THIS Rohit Sharma.

Test centurion outside India... that too as an opener... Finally... and what a shot to bring it up with!!#EngvInd #IndvsEng
Well deserved century
The transformation of #RohitSharma into a world class opening batsman has been staggering. This century was inevitable given the way he has batted in this series. Privileged to see this. Class.

Phenomenal display of patience and technique
Rohit Sharma his 8th Test century in 204 balls!

The slowest in his Test career.
His debut century at Kolkata against West Indies in 2013 came in 194 balls!#INDvsEND #IndvEng#ENGvIND #EngvsInd
Arguably the best Indian batter in the series
From one instinctive batsman to another
Shaandar Zabardast Zindabad.

Indeed you can!
Eight years after his debut, Rohit Sharma gets a Test century outside India. As he said, you can do whatever you want if you put your mind to it.
