He followed skipper Virat Kohli and became the second batsman to hit five ODI tons in 2017.


Rohit reached the three-figure mark off 106 balls when he took a single off the bowling off Tim Southee.


The India opener played an aggressive knock and dominated the bowlers from the onset as his innings was studded with 11 fours and two sixes. 


One of those sixes left Kohli, who was at the non-striker's end, awestruck.


Rohit played a nonchalant pull and it went straight out of the park and Kohli could not help but admire Hitman's six-hitting prowess.

The Mumbai batsman also completed 150 sixes in ODIs.


The 30-year-old equalled Virender Sehwag's tally of 15 hundreds and is now the fourth highest in the list of most ODI centuries scored by Indians behind Sachin Tendulkar (49), Kohli (31) and Sourav Ganguly (22).


Rohit also surpassed Joe Root to become the second batsman after Kohli to aggregate 1000 runs in the 50-overs format.
