In the 3rd Test of the IND vs ENG series, the Rajkot crowd erupted in a standing ovation for Captain Rohit Sharma following his brilliant century. Rohit's exceptional innings of 131 runs from 196 balls, adorned with 14 fours and 3 sixes, showcased his masterclass and steered India from a precarious 33/3 to a commanding position. Despite a brief hiccup, where he miscued a short ball, Rohit's innings proved pivotal in setting India on a comfortable trajectory.
