In total in the first Test match, Rohit scored 303 runs and broke the previous record of former Sri Lankan cricketer Tillakaratne Dilshan who scored 215 across the two innings against New Zealand in August 2009 during maiden Test match as an opener.
In earlier Test matches, Rohit Sharma has mostly played as the middle-order batsman. He has scored five centuries in Test career, two as the Test opener. He is also become the first Indian opener to score centuries in all the format. The way he is playing proves him to be the best opener for the Indian team.
