Captain Ro smashing 92 against Australia sends social media into a frenzy

From former cricketers to IPL teams’ Insta handles, here’s how Rohit Sharma’s record-breaking innings was received on social media

When Rohit Sharma walked in to bat against Australia yesterday in St. Lucia, there was a sense of unfinished business. Captain Ro delivered one of the best knocks in T20 World Cup history, scoring 92 off 41 balls and leading India to a massive win over Australia — a match that felt like sweet revenge for November 19. Not leaving anything to chance, it all started when Rohit pummeled Mitchell Starc for 29 runs in an over. While the carnage from the Hitman continued, multiple records were tumbled in a magnificent innings by Rohit that saw him hit 8 sixes on his way to becoming the first to 200 T20I sixes. Sanjana Ganesan, ICC’s Digital Insider provides the details on all the records Rohit set against the Kangaroos.

While Rohit went crazy on the field, the twitterati took no time in showering him with accolades with the likes of Sachin Tendulkar, Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, Shoaib Akhtar, R Ashwin and several others tweeting their absolute delight after watching Rohit take his revenge over the Australia.
