Rohit was out of international cricket for two months due to injury and he came back on the 4th ODI vs Sri Lanka on 13th November 2014.

Rohit and Jinks opened and Jinks took the role of agressor and Rohit played second fiddle. Then Jinks was dismissed and Virat came, and like so many times earlier, Rohit and Virat put together a dominating partnership.

And just twice before, once again they messed up while running.

Rohit had almost completed the second run while watching the ball, so he didn't even realise that Virat was hesitating, and as usual, Virat got run out. This time he flew into a tearing rage.

He looked back at Rohit so venomously that Rohit already started dreaded facing him in the dressing room later.

However, Rohit went on to play a record shattering inning of 264, and the Indian team along with the Eden Gardens crowd went berserk, because this was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Rohit was given a guard of honour by his team as he returned and the most excited and thrilled person was Virat. Having forgotten his anger completely, Virat hugged Rohit and said, "I'm so horribly proud of you."

A relieved Rohit hugged him back.

Later that evening, stand-in captain Virat said during the Presentation, "It was the sort of day I'll tell my kids later on that I was there, I saw it..."

Rohit smiled, thinking about how Virat could never hold a grudge, and how short lived his temper was, and how much he adored even that temper of his.
