The Indian opener, Rohit Sharma wnet out all guns blazing during the Ranchi Test between India and South Africa as he scored his maiden double century in the longes format of the game. He then carried on the momentum to the press conference at the end of Day 2.

Rohit grabbed the opportunity of opening as a Test batsman with both hands and delivered with two centuries and a double-century in ongoing Test against South Africa so far. He also did not give away the chance of taking a cheeky dig at reporters on Day 2 as he pointed out that, if he wouldn’t have scored enough runs in the series, the journalists would have got a lot to write about him.
