Rohit Sharma went berserk on Monday as he smashed 162 runs off just 137 balls during the fourth One-day International (ODI) between India and West Indies in Mumbai.
By winning the fourth match, India have ensured they won't lose the five-match series, in which they are 2-1 up.
A video has gone viral which shows a very sweet gesture from the Hitman for his country while he was fielding at the boundary.
While it is difficult to say during which ODI the video was taken in the ongoing limited-overs series between India and West Indies, the gesture of patriotism is enough to suggest how proud Rohit is to don the blue jersey.
The video is something like this: when Rohit walks to the boundary for fielding, the crowd behind him in the stands break into chants of "Rohit, Rohit." In reply to that, a smiling Rohit turns back to them and points out the letter,
"I.N.D.I.A" on his jersey asking the fans to chant the country's name and not his name.

After the fourth match ended, which India won by 224 runs, the India vice-captain said getting to another double ton wasn’t on his mind, although his partner did remind him of it.
“(Ambati) Rayudu was telling me that you can get a double hundred,” Sharma said at the post-match press conference on Monday.
“But I was trying to just focus on my batting and not think about how I am going to get to the double hundred. It never crossed my mind of getting the double hundred.
“I was thinking of scoring as many runs as possible. I don’t think about hundreds or two hundreds. I just want to bat, score runs and get the team to a good position. The double hundreds that I’ve got, I’ve never thought about getting them,” he added.
