In a similar situation as in the Chennai Test two years ago, Rohit Sharma has been the lone Indian batsman in Nagpur's Border-Gavaskar Trophy opener against Australia. While the next best has been a knock of 23 from nightwatchman R Ashwin, Rohit has been a standout batter for India, reaching his ninth Test century, off 171 deliveries on the second afternoon of the match, and with that script a marvelous piece of history for India.

On Day 1, Rohit led India to defeat Australia for just 177 over. At the end of the opening day, his knock of 56 reduced India's deficit to 100. On the second morning, he maintained his momentum, but dismissals at the other end forced him to tone down his aggression. With a lofted shot over mid-off against Todd Murphy on his 171st delivery, he reached the three-figure mark.

As a captain, this was his first century since taking over from Virat Kohli last year. It was his ninth Test century and eighth at home. He became the fourth batter to score a century across formats as a captain after Babar Azam, Faf du Plessis, and Tillakaratne Dilshan.

In the six formats in which he captained the Indian team, he scored three centuries in ODIs and two in T20Is. He remains the only Indian to do so. This was also his 38th century across formats as an opener, which remains the second-best tally after Sachin Tendulkar's 45. Six of them have come in Test cricket, which is now eighth best among Indians.

As far as the match is concerned, Murphy has picked up four wickets while Nathan Lyon has taken one. However, Rohit's magnificent knock on Day 2 has helped India take a lead before Tea as the century has been the difference between the two sides.
