Rohit Sharma scripts history with record-breaking century at Lord's
Rohit's hundred was historic in more ways than one. With his commanding knock, he became the first Indian batter to score an ODI century at Lord's, surpassing the previous highest score by an Indian at the venue - Sourav Ganguly's 90 against England in 2004. At 39 years and 80 days, the Indian skipper also entered the record books as the oldest player to score an ODI century at Lord's, while also becoming India's oldest centurion across all formats, adding yet another remarkable milestone to his illustrious career.
