Netizens have been reacting to the five-year-old tweet of Rohit Sharma. One user commented, "Rohit is a Home Track Bully he can't hit an overseas century".

The team India opener received a standing ovation from the Oval crowd and a flying kiss from his better half Ritika, but more importantly, captain Virat Kohli was a very happy man in the dressing room as he was on his feet applauding what could well turn out to be a match-defining knock for Team India. As far as the fourth Test match is concerned, India is batting at 353 for 6 as India extended their lead to 254 on Day 4 of the Oval Test against England.
