At the Oval, Rohit played his best in the most needed time of the team. Again in the opposite condition. The pacers get a lot of help in the cloudy weather at the Oval. The Indian batsmen had to fight and run in such a condition. Consider Rohit’s first 50 runs on the way to a century, the fifty off 145 balls is the slowest in his Test career. At the end of the day’s play, Rohit spoke of the greatness of the Oval’s century, saying, “You came down to play here (England) and got a century, that’s not the case at all.”
Explaining how difficult it was to bat at the Oval yesterday, Rohit said, ‘The shot was not going to play. Shot play is very difficult to open, especially in England. The happiest thing is that I was able to play two and a half arrows (256). And we all know that it takes a little bit of time to bat when you spend some time on the wicket. ‘
