Another milestone that awaits Rohit is half-century of centuries. The Hitman currently has 48 hundreds to his name and needs just two more tons to reach the landmark. The IND vs BAN series at home provides the perfect opportunity for Rohit to achieve the milestone.
What’s next for Rohit Sharma
The Indian skipper will return to action for the first time since the conclusion of IND vs SL ODI series. The Hitman, who did not participate in the Duleep Trophy, was working on his fitness and technique along with assistant coach Abhishek Nayar before joining Team India for a preparatory camp in Chennai ahead of IND vs BAN 1st Test. Rohit and co will aim to extend their domination at home as they look forward to cementing their position at the top of the WTC points table.
