Rohit Tweeted, “Special night with the special man. Great way to win the series. #WeMarchOn #IceMan&Hitman.” Rohit is quite excited to take his form forward in this and the Australian series. Rohit Sharma is pitted as one of the best batsmen in the country. He is the only batsman in the world to score two double centuries in limited overs cricket.
His return to form has come at a great time for the team with the upcoming home season against Australia, New Zealand, and Sri Lanka. India will then begin their overseas tour of South Africa, England, and Australia later next year. Rohit Sharma will look forward to being a little more consistent to secure his position in the team.
