And now the Hitman has hammered a magnificent ton to register the Most T20I tons in the history of the sport. With 5 tons, Rohit has moved ahead of SKY and Maxwell who have 4 tons under their belt.

But Rohit Sharma, who made a comeback after 14 months, made 2 ducks and then roared in style to slam his 5th ton in the shortest format of the game.

With 11 fours and 8 sixes, Rohit amassed 171 runs with a strike rate of 175. Courtesy of the fine knock from Rohit and an unbeaten 69 from Rinku Singh helped India post a big total of 212 against Afghanistan.
