Rohit Sharma equalled David Miller's record for the fastest T20I hundred Getty
As Rohit Sharma sent the Sri Lankan bowlers on a leather hunt en route a 35-ball 100, the joint-fastest in T20Is along with David Miller, the Twitteratti too was on a six-hitting spree.
First t 20 200 by an individual and the highest team score, both records in danger of being broken tonight!????. @ImRo45 is just painting the big hits like an artist. #INDvsSL ????

Everytime you think you have seen it all, you see something incredible. Today, Rohit Sharma has shown us that. I admit I am gasping.

Rohit Sharma could actually score a double hundred in T20 cricket. Not even joking. So. Much. Time. Not power, pure timing... effortless this... arguably the greatest six hitter of the T20 era, if not all time!! #IndvSL

Rohit facing Thisara in this dream zone. Have some mercy on the poor man Bhai. Yes, mundane bowling and flat pitch but this has been a supreme exhibition of six-hitting. Rohit is the best six-hitter.

Looks like there is power in the air too. Sixes really travelling here in Indore. Bowlers will need towels tonight, more to wipe their tears.#INDvsSL
