“Rohit Sharma has a much better technique than Virender Sehwag. Sehwag just had a will and aggressive mindset to hit shots all across the park. He (Rohit Sharma) has got great timing, a variety of shots and elegance. I really thought that he is the Inzamam-ul-Haq of India. Earlier, he had less passion for Tests as he wanted to be a specialist batsman for all different formats. Now you can see when Rohit put this thought out of his mind, he scored a century,” the former pacer quoted via his Youtube channel.

After scoring a century on the opening day, Rohit resumed his rhythm on the second day. He scored 176 runs off 244 balls with the help of 23 boundaries and sixes hits over the fence. Later, he followed it up with a beautiful century in second innings as well.
