Rohit Sharma etched his name in the record books with his 34th century in a fighting knock in the IND vs ENG 3rd ODI on Sunday. Chasing an improbable 388, the Hit-Man set the tone for the chase with a scintallating effort in front of a packed crowd. Rohit is the first Indian to score an ODI century at Lord's, surpassing the previous high score of former India captain Sourav Ganguly.

Eagle-eyed netizens were quick to note that the 39-year-old was batting with his Mumbai teammate's bat. Rohit's bat showed the name of Shardul Thakur embossed at the bottom.
