Wishes are pouring in for Rohit Sharma. The Indian captain announced his retirement from Test cricket earlier today, ending his 12-year career in red-ball cricket. After an underwhelming six months, it seems like the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) hinted to Rohit about moving on from him as India’s Test captain.
This prompted him to not just step down as skipper but announce his retirement. As expected, wishes are pouring in from legends, current and former teammates of Rohit. Dhruv Jurel, Irfan Pathan and Rishabh Pant were the earliest to applaud Rohit as he left the longest format of cricket behind.
