At the age of 39 years and 80 days, Rohit also became the oldest Indian cricketer to score an ODI century. He broke the previous record held by Sachin Tendulkar, who was 38 years and 327 days old when he scored 114 off 147 balls against Bangladesh in Mirpur on 16 Mar, 2012.
However, the record for the oldest Indian to score an international century still belongs to former batter Vijay Merchant. He was 40 years and 21 days old when he made 154 against England in a Test match in Delhi in Nov 1951.
