Rohit's 264 in the fourth one-day international against Sri Lanka here yesterday may cause the publisher of a recently-released book on the Eden Gardens to update his edition fairly quickly. Such is the significance of this knock.

Sanjay Manjrekar People might say this was not a great attack and the Sri Lankans were 0-3 down but nobody can take away any credit from Rohit.

Arun Lal Eden Gardens has another batting hero. After Mohammed Azharuddin and VVS Laxman, Rohit is the most successful batsman here.
Shoaib Akhtar Where will the bowlers pitch the ball now? I feel sorry for all the bowlers in the world because a batsman has reached 264. Rohit has proved now that 300 is well within reach. <img title="Sunil Gavaskar" src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/images/2014/nov/14Sunil-Gavaskar-1.jpg" alt="Sunil Gavaskar" /> Sunil Gavaskar&nbsp;
Sunil Gavaskar It was a champion innings by a champion batsman. He mesmerised the Eden Gardens with his lazy elegance.
