“The journey has been wonderful, it’s been 17 years; I still hope to play a few more years as well & make an impact in World cricket,” Rohit Sharma revealed in a recent interview with Dubai Eye 103.8.
Leading his nation is a source of immense pride for Rohit Sharma, an honour he never envisioned in his early career. “Captaining your country is the biggest honour that you can have,” he stated.
Rohit Sharma further stated that he wants each and every player of team India to focus on prioritising the team over the personal milestones and that is the only way to win the trophy.
