Rohit hits century to put India on top

October 19, 2019 14:04

India 184-3 (45 ovs) vs SA | Scorecard

Piedt, who has gone for 21 runs in three overs, continues. Rohit drives the first ball through the covers for two runs and then takes a single to mid-off.

A single to Rahane to long-on before Rohit lofts Piedt wide of the long-off fence for another six, to complete his century in grand style, from 130 balls, hitting 13 fours and four sixes.

This is Rohit's third century of the series, after having hit century in each innings in the series-opener. This Rohit century has once again been instrumental in getting India back on track after a few early wickets.

Rohit took his time to get his eye, getting his first fifty from 86 balls but there was no stopping him in the post-lunch session, as he stroked the next fifty from just 44 balls to lead India's superb comeback after lunch.

This is Rohit's sixth Test century as he also goes past the 2000-run mark in Test cricket.
