Mumbai Indians (MI) celebrated Rohit Sharma‘s 11th Test century during the ongoing Rajkot Test against England. Rohit achieved this milestone on Day 1 of the test, scoring his century in the post-Tea session. He reached his century off 157 balls with a well-placed shot through the point region for 2 runs off leg-spinner Rehan Ahmed’s delivery in the first over of the final session.
Praising the veteran for his spectacular knock, MI wrote, “When the going gets tough, the tough get going.”
