Indian batsman Rohit Sharma has made sure he cements his place as the opener in Test matches as well as he smashes his first hundred against South Africa on day one of the first match in Vizag on Wednesday.
This was Rohit Sharma's 4th hundred in Test cricket since an unbeaten 102 against Sri Lanka in Nagpur back in November 2016.
The Hitman had started his Test career nearly 6 years ago when he smashed 100 in his first two matches.

Against the West Indies, Rohit made 177 at Eden Gardens before scoring an unbeaten 111 in Mumbai, which was also Sachin Tendulkar's last game for India.
Despite scoring 5 hundreds in the 2019 World Cup, Rohit was not picked to play the 2 Tests matches in West Indies in August.
However, bad performance by KL Rahul got opened the openers spot for Rohit Sharma.
He alongside Mayank Agarwal - who have never opened in Test before - have made a strong impact against the Proteas.
