He walked in with calm. He walked out a colossus. :cricket_bat_and_ball:

 Rohit Sharma’s journey in Test cricket wasn’t just about runs — it was about rhythm, resilience, and redefining grace at the top. As he hangs up his red-ball boots, the cricketing world pauses to honour a man who made timing look timeless.

From heartfelt words to standing ovations, here’s how the global cricketing fraternity celebrated the Hitman’s final chapter in whites. 

Rohit Sharma’s Test captaincy stint lasted less than three years, but he led against seven teams. 

Sachin Tendulkar: 

I remember presenting you with your Test cap in 2013 at Eden Gardens and then standing with you on the balcony of Wankhede Stadium the other day - your journey has been a remarkable one. 

From then to now, you have given your best to Indian cricket as a player and as a captain.

Well done, Rohit Sharma, on your Test career, and best wishes for what lies ahead.
