Netizens laud Rohit Sharma for his amazing innings against South Africa.
Team India get the perfect start to Test and the home season. A wicket-less first session and Rohit Sharma and Mayank Agarwal have kept the scores ticking on the board.
Rohit - who replaced KL Rahul - and Mayank Agarwal had never before opened a Test match together.
However, the two made sure to give India the start needed and the Hitman stood true to the name as he scored his first 50 as a Test opener.

India need a test opener, selectors were scared Rohit Sharma could not do it. He's arrived, let's hope he's here to stay. Cement that spot! #INDvSA #cricket

I love test cricket. Great first session! So good to watch good bowling & patient batting. Very smart batting by @ImRo45 & @mayankcricket to play out the spell of Rabada & Philander, settle in & then put on the runs. Hoping both of them go on to get big ones. #IndvSA
