Mumbai: The man who handed Rohit Sharma to Rohit Sharma was amazed at the growth of format, and a group of people who bloomed under his leadership claimed that he had a Talismanic appearance in the locker room, the second day he retired in the five-day format.
The 38-year-old Rohit announced his retirement from the Test on Wednesday, representing the country in 67 games, captaining in 24 games. He will continue to lead India in ODIS.
The great batting Sachin Tendulkar recalls the time he handed Rohit to Rohit in 2013. It was in the same series, and Tendulkar bid for his glorious career.
“I remember showing you your test cap in Eden in 2013 and then standing with you on the balcony of Wankhede Stadium the other day – your journey was an amazing one.”
Rohit made his first excellence in a two-game series against Kolkata, hitting 177 in his debut and ranking 111 in his final test in Mumbai.
Tendurka added: “You have been using a player and captain for Indian cricket since then. Doing well in your exam career, Rohit did well and offering good wishes for everything in the future.”
While Tendulkar’s position is a well-deserved appreciation for a senior player, the feelings of those who play under his leadership are shocking.
“Your presence and influence will always respond in that locker room,” Rishabh Pant said on Instagram.
“Always be my first captain,” said Pant’s goalkeeper Dhruv Jurel, who debuted in the exam under Rohit.
Another young man, Yashasvi Jaiswal, who started his exam career during his tenure at Rohit, described him as a blessing.
He said: “Rohit Bhai, sharing the crease with white people is nothing more than blessings. Thank you for everything.”
Rohit, 38, retired from the T20I last year and scored 4,301 runs with a 40.57 record, accounting for the 12th and 1850s, with a career-high score of 212 against South Africa in 2019 at Ranchi.
