That Rohit 100 was so from the Sehwag school of batting! Set his own agenda irrespective of conditions & situation.#INDvsENG

Well played @ImRo45 One of most satisfying century in challenging conditions. Also shows the importance of positive intent, decisive footwork when batting on a tough pitch. Now convert this into a biggie. #INDvsENG #class #elegance @StarSportsIndia pic.twitter.com/h9yGqmKJvs
