It is a special day in the history of Indian cricket as one of the most destructive batters of this generation – Rohit Sharma got his first taste of cricket at international level.
Rohit Sharma Completed 15 Years In International Cricket
Yes, 15 years ago, on this day, Rohit Sharma had made his ODI debut for the Indian cricket team in a match against Ireland in 2007. During his debut game, he didn’t get a chance to bat as Sourav Ganguly (73*) and Gautam Gambhir (80*) starred in a chase of 171 runs.
In his glorious career of 15 years, Rohit had gone through his share of ups and downs during his glorious career. The cricketer took some time to cement his place but once he did, there was no going back. He is currently the all-format captain of team India and is hailed as the modern-legend of this game.
Rohit Shared A Special Note
Meanwhile, on the occasion, Rohit Sharma took to his social media to share a beautiful post for his fans, critics and lovers of cricket for all the love and support he received over the years. Sharing the heartfelt note, Rohit wrote: “𝟭𝟱 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 in my favourite jersey“. The heartfelt note read:
“Hello everyone,
Today I’ll be completing 15 years of international cricket since I made my debut for India. What a journey it has been, surely one that I’ll cherish for the rest of my life.
I just want to thank everyone who has been a part of this journey and a special thanks for the people who helped me become the player that I am today.
To all the cricket lovers, fans and critics your love and support for the team is what gets us over those hurdles we all inevitably come across.
Thanking you,
RS”
