Your First Two Tests With Centuries Were A Sign Of Things To Come: Laxman On Rohit's Red-ball Retirement
ICC World Test Championship Final: Veteran batter VVS Laxman on Thursday congratulated India captain Rohit Sharma for a wonderful Test career after the latter announced his retirement from the red-ball format. Recalling Rohit's start in the most celebrated form of cricket, Laxman said his centuries in the first two Tests against West Indies at Eden Gardens and Wankhede respectively in 2013 were a testament to his stellar career ahead.
Rohit announced the decision on Wednesday and took everyone by surprise with India's five-Test series in England scheduled to begin on June 20 at Headingley. He finished his Test career with 4,301 runs from 67 matches at an average of 40.57, despite a dip in form in recent outings. Over the years, he notched up 12 centuries and 18 fifties, with a career-best score of 212 against South Africa in Ranchi in October 2019.
Taking to X, Laxman wrote, "Dear @ImRo45, Heartfelt Congratulations on a wonderful Test career. Those first two Tests with centuries were a sign of things to come, and then watching you flourish as an opener, delivering those match-winning knocks, was unforgettable. Your leadership by example has been so important for Indian Cricket. Wishing you all the very best in your Test retirement!"
