This Class A Home Track Bully has already played 24 Tests - Guess who?

Beat me to the bump.

Nothing against OP. Can understand. Rohit has polarized fans through his career.

But now across two overseas tours of Australia and England, Rohit has easily been the most comfortable Indian batsman. The runs might not have reflected this. But just like how it's surprisingly taken him and the team a while to figure out his test abilities, this too, of changing 30s into hundreds seems to have also been conquered.

Think that whenever we go to South Africa next, he will have an even better tour than the last two.

Expect some beastly hundreds over the next few years

Happy for this thread to backfire.

He may be a late bloomer, but unlike the likes of Yuvraj and Raina, Rohit seems to have translated his white ball skill to a decent test career.

 

[Kroll]

Yeah, because Pakistan is the gold standard for openers

Of course, have you not seen the way they play those glorious cover drives and how they build a platform for the middle order? They'll be saying Rohit who?

Rohit ? hoga apney ghar ka Rohit. This literally applies in case of Rohit Sharma the Test cricketer.

He's already 34. However, I was a big critic of his in test cricket and I'm glad that he has proved me wrong recently

Currently world best opener in all formats

What? First test century abroad after years and years and couple of dozens test matches and hes the best test opener in the world?
Hes got a lot to prove yet in test and unfortunately time isnt on his side

Had a fair bit of luck today too with the drops as well
