		+
		+	One-day cricket and Tests, there’s a massive difference between the two.”
		+	Rohit Sharma wasn’t stating the obvious after his career-defining 127 at the Oval. He was just trying to comprehend what took him so long to score his first Test century outside India: eight years and 47 innings since his debut, the third longest wait of all time behind Ian Redpath (64 innings) and Shivnarine Chanderpaul (52).
		+
		+	Arguably this generation’s most impactful white-ball opener, it’s only now, past 34, that Rohit is fulfilling a long-held prophecy: that of using the considerable talents at his disposal to become a viable option at the top of the order for India in away Tests.
		+
		+	“Most importantly it’s discipline,” he continued, offering a peek into the processes which led to the Oval knock, in which he completely eschewed his trademark flamboyance to play out a monumental 256 balls. It was the third longest innings by an Indian opener in England since 2000.
		+
		+	Rohit now has the most international hundreds of any Indian batsman in England, 9 to Dravid’s 8, with 8 of them having come after 2018. Yet none of the ones which came before mattered as much. “This (Oval ton) holds a lot of value. It has come in testing conditions against a quality bowling attack,” he said.
		+
		+	He must have wanted this one desperately, for years, to keep the effort going so late into his career. “It’s not just like you come in here (England) and get a hundred. It’s a process. It takes time. When you’re playing overseas it’s never easy. I had a lot of chats with players who have come in here and done well. I knew the rewards will happen, but it will take time. I was very patient.
		+
		+	“When I started opening, I knew all those big scores (overseas) are not just going to happen,” Rohit said, explaining how he had to “keep ticking the small boxes” in order to get the big one.
		+
		+	“You can’t just come to a place like England and play shots. There were little adjustments I had to make based on the situation and the conditions, certain type of bowlers. It was an enjoyable process.”
		+
		+	Rohit says he set incremental goals. “Most pleasing was that I was able to play 250 balls. If you look at the Tests (on this tour) I have played nearly 100 balls in every innings. That to me was a goal, see how I can stay on the pitch for as long as possible.
		+
		+	“Once you do that, things start to get easier. It’s discipline… leaving the ball, solid tight defence. Spending time has been my biggest takeaway. I don’t mind looking ugly at times as long as I can get the job done. When I came here for the WTC Final, I knew I had to put in my best effort however I could, whatever it takes.”
		+
		+	It’s the sort of traditional approach to building an innings most T20-bred batsmen now tend to dislike. Rohit says he realized in Oct 2019, when he was told to open the innings, that it could be a final opportunity to resurrect his flagging Test career.
		+	“At the back of my mind I knew this was my last chance. I batted in the middle order but things didn’t go as per the way I wanted it to. When you are playing a sport, you always have to take those chances, those risks. It would have been my last opportunity if I hadn’t succeeded. I was mentally prepared.”
		+
		+	The gifted seem to prefer the tougher road. What didn’t work out in the middle order, where it’s arguably easier to bat, worked wonders at the top. Rohit responded with 176 and 127 against SA in Visakhapatnam and hasn’t looked back.
		+
		+	His skewed home and away averages now look considerably better as opener: 75.08 at home to 43.15 away. Since that Vizag Test in Oct 2019, he averages the best among all openers worldwide at 58.48, ahead of Pakistan’s Abid Ali (43.66).
		+
		+	Interestingly, of his 8 Test hundreds (5 of them have now come as opener), 7 have resulted in India wins. “I trusted whatever I was doing,” Rohit said.

		+
		+	In Rajkot, Rohit, the stand-in captain, needed to guide the team to a resounding victory in the second T20I against Bangladesh to make up for the frustrating loss in the first game.
		+
		+	He took it upon himself to show who is the boss with a 43-ball 85 which gave India an eight-wicket romp over the clueless neighbours.
		+
		+	For Rohit, one of the greats of limited-overs batting, the Rajkot tie was special — it was his 100th T20I game which made him the first Indian male player to reach the milestone. In a tweet on Friday, Rohit expressed his joy: “Be it whichever format, I’m indebted to have this opportunity to do something for the country. I have cherished all these times and will do so forever.”
		+	Rohit’s Rajkot blitzkrieg has come on the back of his stellar show in the recent Test series against South Africa, in which he stroked over 500 runs in the three-match series.
		+
		+	He is in the midst of one of the most productive phases of his 12-year-old international career and is making the experts as well as fans drool over his exploits.
		+
		+	He himself admitted “the year 2019 has been very good so far.” Now, the sky is the limit for the precociously talented batsman, who took time to add maturity and consistency to his art.
		+	In the last five years, Rohit has come into his own and has almost matched Virat Kohli, the king of limited-overs cricket, for impact and substance. If one combines the ODIs and T20I numbers of the last five years, Kohli stands above everyone else with a total of 7048 in 140 matches at an average of 68.42 and a strike rate of 103.28. In the same period, Rohit has 7005 runs in 152 games with an average of 51.50 and a strike rate of 105.95.
		+
		+	What has pushed Kohli’s average well above Rohit’s is the number of not-outs he has achieved in this period — 33 to Rohit’s 14. Both have 23 hundreds in ODIs in this period but Rohit also has four T20 tons to Kohli’s none.
		+
		+	Rohit is also well ahead of other top batsmen in hitting sixes — he has smashed an astounding 254 of them.
		+
		+	In good spirits after the Rajkot triumph, Rohit told Yuzvendra Chahal, the most sparsely-built member of the Indian team, that even he (Chahal) could hit sixes Rohit belts with such uncanny regularity. “You don’t need muscles to hit sixes,” he told Chahal. “In any case, sixes are not just about power but also timing. Head should be still, position should be good. All this will ensure that you hit sixes.” Well, Rohit makes it look simple and effortless but for most others, it’s easier said than done.
		+
		+	Rohit’s knock drew hosannas from another opener who had the same destructive impact on bowlers, former India star Virender Sehwag. Sehwag said that Rohit’s scoring rate was unmatchable and even Virat Kohli could not show such consistency when it came to scoring at the pace at which Rohit scores.
		+
		+	“Hitting 3-4 sixes in an over or scoring 80-90 runs off 45 balls is an art that I haven’t even seen (Virat) Kohli pull off as regularly as Rohit,” Sehwag told Cricbuzz
