NEW DELHI, Oct 22 (Hindustan Times): Opener Rohit Sharma became the first cricketer in the history of bilateral Test series between the two nations to score in excess of 500.
Rohit was named the man of the match for his scintillating double ton which paved way for India's comprehensive victory in the third and final Test against South Africa at the JSCA Stadium Complex in Ranchi on Tuesday.
In total, Rohit amassed 529 runs in his debut series as opener with a maiden double hundred in the final Test against South Africa apart from twin hundreds in Visakhapatnam.
Legendary South Africa Jacques Kallis came closest as he scored 498 runs during 2010/11 series against India. The top-scoring Indian against South Africa in a single Test series was Mohammad Azharuddin, who scored 388 runs during the 1996/97 series.
