The Indian cricket fraternity was united in paying tribute as Rohit Sharma on Wednesday brought down the curtain on his Test career — a journey that saw him evolve from a “quiet fighter to a leader,” leaving behind an impact that will “echo in the dressing room forever.”
Rohit called time on his red-ball career with immediate effect, bringing the curtains to a remarkable journey.
Having already stepped away from T20 Internationals after leading India to World Cup glory last year, the 38-year-old will now focus solely on captaining the ODI side.
As the news broke, heartfelt tributes poured in from across the cricketing fraternity.
India’s World Cup winning all-rounder Yuvraj Singh reflected on the evolution of a “quiet fighter.”
“Test cricket asks a lot of you – grit, patience, and character. Brotherman, you gave it everything and yet made it look effortless. From a quiet fighter to a leader at the top, your journey in whites has been special. Proud of you, go well,” Yuvraj said.
