Guess who lights up social media on Wednesday? It is none other than Rohit Sharma, and his fans cannot contain their joy. The 32-year-old Mumbai cricketer scripted history courtesy his unbeaten century on Day 1 of India vs South Africa three-match Test series opener. Rohit playing his first Test match as Team India opening batsman hammered Proteas bowlers all around the park for his well-made hundred. Rohit Sharma who has constantly faced flak over his performance in the longest format of the game shut down his critics in style. And his unbeaten hundred (he is currently batting at 115 runs off 174 deliveries) has sparked meme-fest online. Die-hard Rohit Sharma fans are sharing funny memes to poke fun at his haters and critics. While there seem to be endless memes online, we have got you the most amazing and funniest memes to have a good laugh at.

But first, we got to talk about Rohit Sharma's incredible show in Vishakhapatnam's ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium. When the playing XI was announced on Tuesday, India captain Virat Kohli had said that Rohit Sharma would be given time to grow into his new role as a Test opener. And it looks like Rohit Sharma wasted no time in proving his mettle. He has been a successful opener in limited-overs cricket, and now the HITMAN showed his love for batting in Tests, a format in which he has not had as much success since making his Test debut on November 6, 2013, against the West Indies at the Eden Gardens Stadium in Kolkata.

In his 115-run innings, which curtailed due to heavy showers saw Rohit hit 12 fours and 5 sixes. With this century, Rohit Sharma also became the fourth Indian batsman to score a century in his maiden innings as a Test Opener. Shikhar Dhawan (187 vs Australia), KL Rahul (110 vs Australia) and Prithvi Shaw (134 vs West Indies) are the other batsmen. This was also Rohit's fourth century, and all have them come at home. And this has got him equalling Don Bradman's record of having a batting average of 98.22 at home. You see there are way too many reasons for Rohitians (a moniker for Rohit Sharma fans) to celebrate and they're doing it in style!

Amidst all the Rohit Sharma appreciation posts, one must not forget, Mayank Agarwal has also shown great resilience and talent on the first day of the opening Test. The 28-year-old is also unbeaten at 84 and most likely to hit his maiden Test hundred when the game resumes on Day 2. Rains forced early stumps on Day 1 of India vs South Africa 1st Test with India at 202/0 in 59.1 overs. Almost 30 overs game was lost on the first day; something teams would look to recover when they lock horns next day.
