'Ye century dekhne ke liye aankhein taras gayi thi'- Cricketing fraternity awestruck as Rohit Sharma scores emphatic century in Nagpur Test

The Indian skipper Rohit Sharma has now become the first-ever Indian skipper to score a century across all formats of the game. The 35-year-old has completed his 9^th
Test century in the ongoing Nagpur Test between India and Australia. Notably, the century has come for Sharma after a long wait in red-ball cricket.

Following this century from the full-time skipper in his comeback match in Test cricket also drew a lot of reactions from the fans and cricketing fraternity as well. They took to Twitter to lavish praises on the star Indian opener and skipper.

Here’s how fans reacted:
