He was on 199* when Jadeja was on strike and hardly three minutes left for lunch. Virat Kohli, on the JSCA stadium balcony, was beaming with anticipation for Sharma's double hundred when Jadeja hit a four on the penultimate delivery of the final over of the first session. That meant, in all probabilities, Rohit would have to wait till after lunch to reach his first-ever double hundred in Test cricket. On Day 1, Rohit batting on 95* had reached the triple figures with a Sehwag style hundred. And on the former cricketers birthday, Sharma did the honours of repeating that brilliance in his double hundred as well. At 195*, facing Lungi Ngidi, Rohit Sharma executed his favourite pull shot between mid-wicket and deep square leg clearing it to the stands. Virat Kohli and co. stood up in joy and gave a standing ovation to Rohit Sharma, who just keeps getting better each day.
