Rohit equals Bradman’s record in first innings as Test opener

Whenever it comes to greatness in cricket, the name of Don Bradman of Australia comes first. He has scored at an average of around 100 in Test cricket, which is just a dream for any other cricketer. But ‘Hitman’ Rohit Sharma has surprisingly matched Bradman’s average. Rohit Sharma played an unbeaten innings of 115 against South Africa on Wednesday. With this, he came on par with Bradman for highest average in tests at home.

The Test match between India and South Africa started in Visakhapatnam on Wednesday. India won the toss and decided to bat first. Host Team India did not lose a single wicket in the whole day. India scored 202 runs without losing wickets before rains brought a premature end to the day’s play. This includes Rohit Sharma’s 115 unbeaten runs. Second opener Mayank Agarwal is unbeaten after scoring 85 runs.

Rohit Sharma has scored a century in Test cricket after almost two years. His century will also be called memorable because with his help, he has come on par with Bradman. Bradman has scored an average of 99.94 in international cricket. This is his total average. If we talk about the matches played in the home series, then Bradman’s average is 98.22. Rohit Sharma has equalized Bradman in this.

Rohit Sharma has scored 884 runs in 10 Tests in the home series. This includes four centuries. The biggest thing is that Rohit Sharma’s average in domestic Test matches is 98.22. This is equal to Bradman. This may be a mere coincidence, but it is true that Bradman and Rohit Sharma’s average in domestic Test matches is equal today. By the way, Rohit is currently playing his 28th Test match. He has scored 1700 runs in these matches at an average of 42.50 so far.
