After the end of first day play in Chennai, Rohit Sharma took to the Twitter sharing a picture of his daughter giving a rub on his wife Ritika’s sore finger.
Ritika was spotted sitting in the stands with her fingers crossed as Rohit slammed his seventh Test century. “Fingers seem to be fine. Sammy and I giving mamma a little rub on sore fingers,” read the tweet from the cricketer on the social media platform.
Soon after Rohit posted the picture, fans flooded Twitter with heartwarming messages for the Indian batsman.
Rohit registered 161 runs off 231 deliveries on the opening day of the second Test. The innings got off to a shaky start after Shubman Gill was dismissed for a duck by Olly Stone.
The 33-year-old opener stitched a partnership of 85 runs with Cheteshwar Pujara, before the latter lost his wicket.
After Skipper Virat Kohli was out Rohit took the command and helped India bounce back with a 162-run stand alongside Ajinkya Rahane.
The 33-year-old batsman was eventually dismissed after handing a catch to Moeen Ali off Jack Leach.
Team India ended the opening day at a score of 300/6 in 88 overs, with Rishabh Pant and Axar Patel the batsmen at the crease.
