Rohit Sharma, playing as a Test opener for the first-ever, scored a splendid century on the opening day of the first Test between India and South Africa at Visakhapatnam. He remained unbeaten on 115 off 174 balls, which consisted of 12 fours and five sixes, and this is his fourth Test century. Electing to bat first after winning the toss, Rohit Sharma’s half-century and Mayank Agarwal’s cautious knock gave India a formidable start in the first session. The hosts headed for the lunch break at 91-0. Rohit’s ton came in the post-lunch session, while Mayank also looks set for what could be his maiden Test hundred. The match was interrupted due to rain when India were no loss for 202 after 59.1 overs. Here’s how Twitterati reacted to the ‘Hitman’s’ tremendous performance. Hitman has finally made a mark in Tests!
