Rohit Sharma Complete 4000 Runs During Test Match
Indian captain Rohit Sharma broke the 4000-run milestone in Test cricket on Sunday when he entered the crease for the 192-run chase during the second innings of the fourth Test against England at the JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi.
Rohit scored only two runs in the first innings, so they quickly removed him from the game. At 24*, he is still undefeated in the second innings, which is already underway.
In the present series, Rohit has had trouble turning his beginnings into meaningful innings.
With a strike rate of 65.35 and 266 runs at an average of 38 throughout the course of the four games, he has amassed one century (131 in Rajkot).
Another milestone with the bat for the #TeamIndia Captain 🙌
