World Cup 2019 | They call him 'HITMAN' for a reason, Rohit Sharma wins praises on social media after a spectacular century against Pakistan

Rohit Sharma registered his 24th ODI century and his second one of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 against arch-rivals Pakistan at the Old Trafford in Manchester on Sunday. After being put into bat by Pakistan skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed, Rohit and KL Rahul laid a solid platform for India with a 136-run opening stand. After Rahul was dismissed for a well-made 57, the Indian vice-captain then added 98 runs for the second-wicket stand with Virat Kohli. Both Sharma and Rahul started on a cautious note as they saw off the new ball well before Rohit unleashed his explosive shots and accelerated the Indian innings. The Hitman scored a splendid 113-ball 140 at a strike rate of 123.89 which included 14 boundaries and three maximums. Here's how the Manchester crowd reacted after Rohit got to his century. 💯 🙌 👏 The Manchester crowd react to Rohit Sharma reaching his hundred!#CWC19 | #INDvPAK | #TeamIndia pic.twitter.com/1a61JGJJt6 — Cricket World Cup (@cricketworldcup) June 16, 2019 Even the netizens came forward to congratulate the stylish opening batsman after his incredible innings against the arch-rivals.
