Talk about getting carried away. One match gets an 100 and hes better than everyone else. Untill an Indian batsmen score massive runs away from the sub-continent, I will take zero notice of them.

To be honest i thought the same, how does he not play for India. But then i realised that they Tendulkar, Dravid & Laxman so there was no room for him.

With Tendulkar retiring it allows Kholi to move up to no4 and lets Rohit get his chance.

Have u been watching the India vs WI test match? if you did u would notice this is a bowlers pitch which is only going to get worse.

It was a really good 100 on a tough batting track for once in india.

Ive seen the pitch that barely bounces shin high. Only threat to India was shillingford.. with his illegal delivery ie the doosra. This is not a poor wicket.. Anyone should score runs on a wicket that doenst bounce above shin high

The west-indies wont score runs in the 3rd innings because they are 7th/8th in the test rankings and cant bat.
Lets see Indian batsmen score runs in England/Sa/Aus.. before they get worshipped.

His first class average is 60! top score over 300; on paper he's been better than India's other young batsmen for some time.

sooooo? am sorry but how many double and triple hundreds do they score in domestic cricket.. anyone with patience can bat in india. Unless its a quick turning wicket you can negate the spin..You can spin the ball square. but if it comes of the wicket slowly. you have ample time to adjust.
Untill players play on wickets that seams at a pace.. and you have a tiny amount of time to react. I wont judge that player.

When India come to England for example.. They will leave grass on the wickt and it maybe green.. Indian batsmen will not be able to get a huge stride to the ball. because it will move away from the bat and they will knick. If they play off the backfoot there the lbw problem. Its ok playing on slow tracks when you all have to do is get forward with a straight bat and YOULL never get out.

england, stop talking nonsense.
You soundin like mafiaboy.

well played Rohit, to play a knock like that, when your team is 80/5 , that too in debut . Special knock in a track offering something for everybody, your knock though has potentially robbed another tendulkars inning at eden gardens.

Walked into that one

Wait!!!!

SouthAfricaWhoElse.... Let's wait and see how the Ashes go.

The Ashes dont go anywhere.... they stay at Lords

very average player. Wait until he faces world class bowlers in Anderson and Broad before praising him. Anyone can score 100+ on flat pitches

*turning tracks.

The tracks, until recently, England have struggled on for years.
