This man gave India some of the most classy knocks in whites. And now, he's walking off. Quietly, just like he always did — no showoff, no big drama.
🧢 His Test Journey – Not So Smooth, But Pure Class
You know what's crazy? For a guy who smashed tons in ODIs, Rohit had to wait forever for his Test debut.
➤ Debut?
-
Yup, way back in 2013, vs West Indies in Kolkata.
-
And boom — 177 runs in the first game. Like he was born for it.
But after that? It wasn’t all smooth. Injuries, bench time, form drops — he saw it all. But when he came back as opener in 2019, he turned the game around.
📊 His Test Stats (Kinda Impressive)
-
🏏 Matches: Around 56
-
💯 Centuries: 10 (Some of them real gems)
-
🏆 Best Score: 212 (against South Africa, in India)
-
🗺️ Outside India? Struggled early, but improved later. Solid in England & Aus tours.
He wasn’t just a batter. He had style. That front foot pull shot? Uff.
🎙️ Captain Rohit – Calm & Cool
He also took charge as Test captain when Kohli stepped down. Led the team with more chill vibes than aggression.
Under him, India stayed strong in WTC games. No drama, no shouting — just brain and patience.
💔 Fans Be Like: "Why Now, Bro?"
"Not ready for Rohit in suits, not jerseys," one fan tweeted.
🤔 What’s Next?
Well, he’s still gonna play ODIs and of course, IPL. Don’t worry — Hitman isn’t vanishing.
And who knows? Coaching, commentary, or just chilling with family?
💬 Rohit's (Imagined) Words:
"Test cricket was a dream. A tough one. But I loved it. Thanks to everyone who stayed with me through this journey."
🌟 Final Words
We never thought we’d say this so soon, but yeah — Rohit Sharma, the Test batter, is done.
But legends don’t retire, they just move to another level.
Thanks for the memories, Rohit bhai.
Test cricket won’t feel the same.
