Team India ended the 2017 season with a whitewash against the Sri Lankans in the T20 International series at home. The Indian team — led by stand-in captain Rohit Sharma — thrashed Lankans 3-0 in the shortest format of the game. In this T20I series, Team India made and broke several records. In the second T20I, Rohit Sharma equalled South African David Miller’s record of the fastest T20I century. Rohit smashed 118 in just 43 balls as India posted a mammoth 260-run total on board — the second highest T20I total after Australia’s 263.
Rohit’s century came off just 35 balls as he smashed Sri Lankan bowlers all around the park. His 118-run knock included 12 fours and 10 sixes.
