India continued on their merry way in a chase of 192 on the morning of Day 4 with both Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal keen to take the attack to the bowlers and race their way to an unassailable lead in the series. The duo added 42 runs in the first eight overs on Monday, despite the Indian skipper kicking proceedings off with a maiden off James Anderson, but the veteran was quick to announce his intentions with a shot for the ages in the very next over against the right-arm pacer.
Running in from over the wicket, Anderson angled a length ball towards leg stump hoping to find some swing to square up Rohit. However, the ball slid straight on and the 37-year-old pounced on the opportunity by lifting his back leg slightly up before swinging his bat through the delivery to launch it towards cow corner with breathtaking ease. The shot, akin to a pickup against the new ball in white-ball cricket, came out of nowhere to astound even the most experienced campaigners for England as Stokes pursed his lips in appreciation of the shot as if expressing helplessness against the onslaught.
Twitter was quick to laud praises on Rohit for continuing to entertain even in the Test arena.
Work of art!

It seems that Jimmy's ego is hurt by Hitman hitting him for a six.
But he should be grateful that he has been hit for a six by the greatest six-hitter of all time.
Frustration kicking in
