“It should be a defining moment in his cricket career”- Sunil Gavaskar on Rohit Sharma’s 1st overseas century

Rohit has played 45 Tests of which 25 have been outside of India. He scored a total of 3137 runs in Tests, 1760 have been in India and the rest 1377 were overseas. He has only one century away from home but has more fifties (8) overseas as compared to on Indian soil (6). Until of August 2021, Rohit didn’t have a single overseas century. Rohit smashed his first hundred away from home against England, at the Oval last summer, which former India great Sunil Gavaskar thinks as a defining moment of Sharma’s career.

“It should be a defining moment in his cricket career because at the end of the day, however many runs you score at home, the number of centuries and the runs that you get overseas are the ones that decide your place in the pantheon of greats,” Gavaskar said on the docu-series ‘Architects of White’ streaming on SONY LIV.
