Hanuma Vihari commented on veteran Indian batter Rohit Sharma after the second ODI against the West Indies. Team India won the game by eight wickets, pulling off a record 406-run chase in Guwahati as well. Rohit Sharma scored a stunning hundred at the top, making 101 runs off just 75 balls with 10 fours and six maximums at a strike rate of 134.67 as well.

“I have not seen Rohit celebrate like that. Even when he has scored double hundreds, he has not celebrated like that. I don’t know the reason behind it but it is good to see. Even when he got out and was going back, Virat Kohli walked in and patted him. That’s why I say put aside your fan wars,” he said in a video on his YouTube channel.

However, Hanuma Vihari also applauded India skipper Shubman Gill for his stunning double hundred. Gill led from the front in a huge run chase, making an unbeaten 223 off just 133 balls with 26 fours and eight sixes at a strike rate of 167.67 as well.

“Shubman Gill’s century in the first match was unnoticed because Kohli overshadowed him. But in this match, he took the attacking role. He carried on once he got his hundred. A captain’s knock. I mean, sky is the limit for him. The way he bats, especially in white ball cricket, hits through the line, punches well, pulls well, plays spinners well. I think, he is a phenomenal player. When you are chasing 406, to get a double hundred is a brave effort,” he concluded.
