With a middling Test career so far and Rohit failing to cement his place in the middle order despite his potential, the management asked him to open in Tests too. His red-ball fortunes changed, as he made 177, 127 and 212 at home against South Africa•BCCI
He finally got a Test debut in 2013, against West Indies in Tendulkar's final series, and struck consecutive centuries in his first two Tests from No. 6•BCCI

As Test captain, Rohit had an impressive start, racing away to 12 wins in his first 15 Tests. The end, though was not so sweet, losing six of his last seven Tests - first at home against New Zealand and then away in Australia•Associated Press
