Nagpur: Team India captain Rohit Sharma has scored a brilliant century in the ongoing Test match against Australia in Nagpur. Rohit, who started the Indian innings, completed his 9th Test hundred in 171 balls after lunch on the second day of the Test match. This is Rohit's first Test century against Australia. He completed his century with the help of 14 fours and 2 sixes. This is Rohit's first Test century as captain. Let us tell you that after Virat Kohli left the post last year, Rohit also got the captaincy of the Indian Test team.

Rohit Sharma has scored a century in all three formats of international cricket as captain. Rohit is the first captain of India to do so. Let us inform you that even veteran captains like Virat Kohli and Mahendra Singh Dhoni could not do this feat. In 2017, Rohit took command of the team for the first time in ODIs and T20s. In his debut series, he scored 208 against Sri Lanka in ODIs. In the T20 match of the same tour, Rohit scored an inning of 118 runs with the bat. Only 3 captains have been able to do this before Rohit in international cricket. This includes Sri Lanka's Tillakaratne Dilshan, South Africa's Faf du Plessis, and Pakistan's captain Babar Azam. Now Rohit Sharma's name has also been added to this list.

On a very difficult pitch for batting in Nagpur, Rohit showed aggressive play from the very first ball. He hit world number one Test bowler Pat Cummins for 3 fours in the very first over of the Indian innings. He completed his half-century in just 66 balls. However, on the second day, Rohit scored at a slow pace. Till the time of writing the news, Team India's score has reached 249 runs for 7 wickets and India has taken a lead of 72 runs over Kangaroos. Axar Patel (1) and Ravindra Jadeja (45) are at the crease.
