Rohit Sharma gives a fitting reply to his critics

Rohit Sharma is a talented batsman and has the ability to win matches single-handedly. But his Test career yet to resemble his ODI form. Critics raised eyebrows about his selection in the Test team for the home series against New Zealand. There was a speculation that Gautam Gambhir and Manish Pandey were making their way to the national setup.
Gautam Gambhir had plundered runs at an average of over 80 in the Duleep Trophy and Manish Pandey was the highest scorer in the quadrangular A team series Down Under. With two hundred in Duleep Trophy, young Saurashtra batsman Sheldon Jackson was also in the frame to be picked ahead of Rohit Sharma or Shikhar Dhawan, had the form been a parameter.
However, selectors wanted to give Rohit a long run. Rohit has been struggling to find their feet at the crease and needless to say, they have been struck with poor form. Amidst such situation, many brutally criticized their selection in the side.
Rohit Sharma, however, had kept quiet all this while. He took to micro-blogging site Twitter to express his feelings in a tricky one-liner that perhaps serves all his purpose. A witty Sharma wrote, “The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.
Former captain Sourav Ganguly criticized test captain Virat Kohli as he played both Rohit Sharma and Cheteshwar Pujara in the same Test.
The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do ??
