At the point when Rohit Sharma finished his first ODI century in Mumbai, he set aside some opportunity to enjoy it, sinking into a casual affirmation of the commendation with his arms outstretched.

"I have played a great deal of cricket at CCI and I have dependably delighted in batting here," Rohit said. "It is a decent pitch and you get an incentive for your shots.

I was relaxed and so thought I will walk to take the bails off. His effort (run) was good,” added Jadeja, who laughed off the incident.
