A captain's knock. @ImRo45 has looked in full flow and has marched on to a well-made century. ODI Century no. 16 #TeamIndia #INDvSL
Sofia Hayat, Rohit’s ex-girlfriend, extended to chide the right-hand batsman with her recent comments. Speaking about Rohit’s recent double ton, she said: ““I am happy that Rohit is gaining success. But wondering how people are discriminating things on gender. Rohit should understand it is just a ‘bat-ball’ game. Just that he is a man, so people are clapping”.
