Rohit Sharma Becomes 1st Indian Batsman To Complete Double-Ton With A Six In Test Cricket

This is the first time ever that India have had 3 double-centurions in a Test series - Mayank Agarwal (215), Virat Kohli (254*), Rohit Sharma (200*)

Earlier, the record of most runs by an Indian batsman vs Proteas was held by Mohammed Azharuddin (388 runs).

Rohit achieved the unique milestone of becoming the first Indian batsman to complete double-century with a six in Test history.

HITMAN Sharma also became the first Indian to score 500+ runs in a series against South Africa.

Former India opener Virender Sehwag was the last Indian opener to score over 500 runs in a Test series, which he attained vs arch-rivals Pakistan in 2005.

HITMAN Rohit Sharma (212-runs off 255 balls) smashed a massive six to reach his maiden double ton in Test cricket on Day 2 of the third Test at Ranchi.
