Rohit Sharma Bags Unique Record In Test Cricket!

Indian skipper Rohit Sharma made his name a synonym to records over the years. His career can be seen before and after he was promoted as the opener. The then-Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni promoted Rohit as the opener in 2013 in the England series and there is no looking back from then.

Across formats, Rohit Sharma is shining with the bat.

He became a regular member of the test team in 2019. In his stint as an opener in these four years, Rohit Sharma made many wonders and added another feather to his cap. Hitman Rohit Sharma achieved a rare feat that makes him the only player to do so.

He achieved this record with his sensational knocks against the West Indies as part of the ongoing series. Veteran Sri Lanka player Mahela Jayawardene earlier held the record with 29 consecutive double-digit scores and Rohit Sharma surpassed him.
