RECORDS SHATTERED AS INDIA BEATS SA IN 1ST
TEST MATCH.
Well all faces and focus were
on the one-day vice-captain Rohit Sharma which was going to open a test inning
for the first time. It was hail of a pressure and expectation from Rohit. many
of his haters was against him opening the inning saying he cannot play the red
ball. and it was a right opportunity for Rohit to shut their and so he did.
the Rohit shows began.
Rohit showed us that when it
comes to the opening an inning no one is better but me.
he played brilliantly to give
India a huge total but when South African fought well and neared the follow-on
Rohit again took the responsibility and gave India a huge total to seal the
match with ease.
