IND vs SL 2017: Rohit Sharma Appreciates Shastri's Remarks Over Hitman's Indore Mauling

Stand-in India skipper Rohit Sharma continued his brilliant run with the bat, as he registered his third international double hundred and followed it up with the fastest T20I hundred in just 35 balls alongside South Africa’s David Miller in the second T20I at the Holkar Stadium, Indore against Sri Lanka.

The new opening pair of Lokesh Rahul and Rohit Sharma provided India with a magnificent start, as the hosts posted 260 in their quota of 20 overs.

Rohit Sharma got out scoring 118 runs in just 42 balls well cushioned by Rahul who played the secondary role scoring 89 runs in 49 balls. Sri Lanka started off well, but lost momentum in the middle-overs, as the new spinning duo of Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal shared seven wickets in between them.
