Rohit Sharma scored 212 runs in the Ranchi Test.

Rohit Sharma also hit 6 sixes in his innings of 212 | AFPRohit Sharma had a field day in the third Test against South Africa in Ranchi as he scored his maiden double century in Tests. This was his third hundred in the series and he also amassed 500 plus runs, in his first outing as an opener in Tests.

The Mumbaikar happened to become the fourth Indian to achieve the feat of 500 runs in a series after Sunil Gavaskar (5 times), Budhi Kunderan and Vinoo Mankad. However, he was the first Indian batsman to reach his double century with a six, which he hit off the bowling of Lungi Ngidi. After spending the whole lunch break on 199, Rohit got over the tension quickly with the six.

However, what was more amazing that commentator VVS Laxman had predicted how many runs Rohit will get in the innings, and his prediction came absolutely correct. Laxman had said that Rohit will make 212 runs and that was the score on which Kagiso Rabada had the opener caught at square leg by Ngidi, as he attempted another six.

Here is the video of Laxman’s prediction, which came true:

His former Indian teammate AakashChopra joined in the fun and tweeted, "Told ya...VVS is never wrong. NEVER. #Octopus"
