For the record, Rohit got the front leg out of way and smashed the ball high into the night sky of Nagpur. Then on the next ball, Rohit drilled the maximum over square leg via his famous pull shot.
Rohit didn’t stop there as he smashed two sixes in the next two overs of Australian bowlers. First, the Mumbaikar took Pat Cummins to cleaners over square leg then he smacked spinner Adam Zampa for a six in the third over.
