Twitter Heaps Praise on Hitman Rohit for Maiden Test Double Ton

Rohit Sharma notched up his maiden Test double hundred in the third and final Test against South Africa.

There was no stopping the Rohit Sharma juggernaut as the ace India opener notched up his maiden Test double hundred in the third and final Test against South Africa in Ranchi at the JSCA Stadium on Sunday, 20 October.

Rohit finally departed for 212 from 255 balls with the help of 28 fours and six sixes. He was caught at the fine leg boundary by Lungi Ngidi off Kagiso Rabada.

On the opening day of the Test, the 32-year-old had surpassed West Indies’ Shimron Hetmyer to set the record for most number of sixes in a Test series.

The internet was flooded with congratulatory messages for Rohit, with cricketers and fans heaping praise on the opener for adding another feather to his cap.

Wonderful partnership between Rohit Sharma and Ajinkya Rahane!
Good composure and positive cricket by both of them has helped India recover and take full control of this Test.#INDvSA pic.twitter.com/42hfUOCywa

It ends but has to be said was a magical effort. Yest morning was tough but @ImRo45 played it out. And then the explosion came and he has yet again batted India to a winning position. That’s the best part to this innings. Bowlers have time thanks to him.

On a train frm Shimla to Delhi, there was a halt at one of the stations. Train stopped by for few minutes as usual. Rohit was nearing a double ton. The passengers, railway officials, every1 on the train waited for Rohit to complete double ton. This genius stopped time in India!
