3 Indian records Rohit Sharma can break as an opener in Test cricket

#1 Highest score

Rohit Sharma's 176 was his 4th Test century

Rohit has always been known for amassing huge scores, mostly in the shorter versions of the game. With three double centuries in ODI cricket, Rohit has made a habit of scoring big runs at the International level. While he embarks upon a new journey in Test cricket, there are also chances that he could register the highest individual score for an Indian cricketer in this format.

Once set, run-scoring does become an easier job in Test cricket, with open fields and the need to just hit through the gaps. A sweet timer of the ball, Rohit will enjoy this luxury as an opener and would love to replicate his success even in Test cricket. He looked certain of his game in both the innings of the Vizag Test, despite his early struggles against seam bowling.

Given that Rohit has a penchant for scoring big scores, Rohit could be in line to notch up the highest score in Test cricket and earn yet another unique record to his name. Given that run-scoring has become easier for Indian batsmen, in particular, on Indian pitches, Rohit could be backed to cross the 319-run mark set by Virender Sehwag.
