Rohit Sharma also batted aggressively, scoring 101 off 75 balls before getting out. In the same innings he completed 12,000 runs in international cricket. With this record, Rohit has now joined the club of Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar.

Rohit's celebration after reaching his century has gone viral on social media. He was later asked about it. Rohit said he keeps the celebration to himself. According to him, some things should remain private. Rohit said, "I did it for myself. I did this celebration for myself."
