    What's the story

    Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma clocked several top-notch records with a fine 103-run knock against England in the ongoing 5th Test.

    He was dismissed shortly after lunch by England captain Ben Stokes. Rohit was part of two century-plus stands during his knock. Here's more.

    Rohit started in his typical aggressive fashion as he collected several boundaries off the new ball. Alongside fellow opener Yashasvi Jaiswal (57), Rohit added 104 runs before the former departed.

    Rohit was also involved in a 171-run stand with fellow centurion Shubman Gill (110).

    A peach from Stokes caused his departure. Rohit ended up scoring 103 off 162 balls (13 fours, 3 sixes).
