Virender Sehwag congratulated Rohit Sharma on retirement

Rohit Sharma spoke Adiu for his Test career on Wednesday, 7 May.

From one great opener to another! Virender Sehwag has congratulated former Indian Test Captain Rohit Sharma for a wonderful red ball career. On May 7, came as a huge surprise, Rohit declared his retirement from the format with a subtle Instagram story. With this, Sehwag feels that Rohit did well to finish his career on his own terms despite not being able to play 100 Test matches, an achievement that has been completed by only 14 Indians.

Virender Sehwag on Rohit Sharma

Speaking to Cricbuzz, Sehwag reiterated that India would definitely recall Rohit Sharma’s presence at the top of the order. Sehwag, who himself played 103 Tests for the nation, preferred to see Rohit going near the century mark, but Rohit is “fine” in his “large -scale” career.

,Yes, he always realizes – he could play a little longer. He could have reached 100 Test matches, and only a few aristocrats have achieved that milestone. But he took his decision, and that’s fine. His career has been excellent,

In addition, Sehwag shared that he was taken with a surprise – like many others – with this decision, especially Rohit said what he said after leaving himself in the final BGT test in Sydney.

“It’s amazing, because I also heard those things – as if he was preparing for a tour of England or when he did not play the last Test match during the tour of Australia, he was saying,” I am not going anywhere. I’m right here. Do not show off like i have retired“Sehwag continued.

The selectors forced Rohit to retire?

Attractively, Sehwag also touched the fact that the selectors did not want Rohit in the England series. This could motivate Hitman to call this. Rohit had a terrible BGT series earlier this year that had already put a shadow on his tambling test career. Rohit did not look like his drain. Despite taking Team India to win the Champions Trophy, the BCCI selector was not keen on Rohit as he wanted fresh blood to lead in the upcoming WTC Chakra. The management was dismissing Rohit!

“But what may have happened during this time? Perhaps what happened is probably this is probably: when the selectors took their decision – perhaps they thought,” We will not declare Rohit Sharma as a Test captain, “or perhaps,” We will not even take him as a player “for England Tour. I am sure the selectors must have talked to them, what they were thinking, and then they offered some options.”

“Therefore, before the announcement of the team – before something more public was made public – Rohit Sharma declared his retirement. This is a good sign,” Sehwag said.

“But who won’t remember a player like Rohit Sharma? Whether he was a cricket, ODI cricket, or T20 cricket Test, he always provided full entertainment. The fans enjoyed watching his batting, and the records made by him are outstanding. They do not regret it. He said that he retired as an opener. Sehwag said.
