Hindustan Times  

India captain Rohit Sharma is regarded as one of the best white-ball batters of the current generation. Cut to the present, the classy right-handed batter is just one century away from equalling legendary Australia captain Ricky Ponting in the list of batters with the most hundreds in the history of 50-overs cricket. INDIA VS SRI LANKA LIVE SCORE 2nd ODI "The surprising fact is that in the last four or five years he has gotten this many hundreds. He definitely got about 20 hundreds in the last five-six-seven years," Gambhir said on Star Sports before the start of the 2nd India vs Sri Lanka ODI. Such was the magnitude of Gambhir's sudden comparison between Rohit and Ponting that fellow panellist and former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar was completely taken aback.
