Mumbai: Known as ‘Hitman’ in cricketing circles for his unbelievable ability to demolish any bowling attack, Rohit Sharma lived upto his nickname and became the first man to score his second double-hundred in ODIs.
While Sri Lanka were at the receiving end of this carnage, his teammates and cricket followers were quick to applaud a very special knock.
Here are some of the reactions.
