Rohit Sharma smashes a ton in the first Test against Australia 

India and Australia are currently locking horns in the first Test of the four-match series in Nagpur. After bundling out the hosts for just 177 runs in the first innings, the hosts have produced a magnificent effort with the bat.

The chief architect behind this has been skipper Rohit Sharma. The right-hander batted staggeringly well and gave his team a flying start after he scored a half-century during the fag end of Day 1 and made sure that his side end the day on high.

Rohit then continued where he left off as he looked a class apart and played some staggering strokes. He held one end and made sure that he kept ticking the scorecard. The Indian skipper looked equally well against spinners as well as pacers as frustrated Australian bowlers with his gameplay.

He scored a century in 171 balls and helped India put in a comfortable position and take a lead. This was his first Test century as a captain and he also became the first Indian skipper to score a tons in all three formats of the game. Rohit so far has smashed 14 fours and 2 sixes in his innings and was unbeaten at 103 at the time this piece was written.
