Rohit Sharma may have shifted his focus on the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 which is set to get underway on March 22 but dropped a video on his official social media handle reflecting his thoughts on India’s final international assignment before the T20 league. In the video, the Indian captain can be seen talking about how they knew a five-match Test series against an opponent against England would be challenging. The senior India batter reflected on his experience with the youngsters while also speaking highly of Jasprit Bumrah, Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin as India emerged victorious 4-1.
He said that he enjoyed his experience with the debutants with as many as five players receiving their Test caps during the series. The Mumbai batter revealed that when he himself was a youngster he had played with Sarfaraz Khan’s father in Mumbai’s Kanga Cricket League.
Wanted To Tell Sarfaraz Khan’s Father His Son’s Test Cap Belongs As Much To Him As His Son: Rohit Sharma
Rohit talked about the emotions that he experienced when he was involved with the youngsters’ debuts.
“I was just lost in their debuts. I was enjoying their debuts so much because their parents were there. There was so much emotion,” Rohit said on Team Ro’s official Instagram handle.
“I have played with Sarfaraz’s father in Kanga league when I was very young. His father was a left handed batter. He was an aggressive player and very well known in Mumbai cricket circles. I wanted to acknowledge his effort and hard work that had paid off with his son playing for India. I just wanted to tell him that his son’s Test cap belongs as much to him as his son,” the 36-year-old said.
“I really enjoyed playing with the youngsters. All of them are very mischievous. I knew most of them well and what their strengths are and how do they want to play the game. It was just me talking to them about how good they are and the good things they have done in the past. The way they responded to me and Rahul bhai was superb,” Rohit said.
