Rohit Sharma played his first Test match on December 9, 2014 against Australia. After that he played 14 Test innings for this team. But he could not score a century. However, Rohit completed his century in the 15th Test innings i.e. after 2985 days.
Not the pitch.. the focus is on playing..
There was a big debate about the pitch before the start of the Nagpur Test. The Australian media continues to bombard the pitch with questions from time to time. Rohit Sharma advised him that players should focus on the game and not on the pitch in such situations. Rohit proved his mettle with the bat. Rohit hit a brilliant century on a pitch where the Australian batsman couldn’t even make a half-century. Rohit’s century is a lesson to batsmen who tend to focus more on pitch than preparation.
