India’s swashbuckling opener Rohit Sharma has lauded skipper Virat Kohli on completion of 13 years in international cricket. While there have been reports of alleged rift between the limited overs vice captain and captain, Rohit termed his journey so far as “unbelievable”.
“His hunger for success is just unbelievable. It’s not easy to just go out there and do it consistently, which he has done so well. He came in 2008, and he’s evolved as a cricketer since then. I mean, over the years he’s added little, little cents to his game and just evolved every year. All those years, as I see, he’s put his best foot forward,” Rohit said in the video posted by ICC.
The video also included Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, head coach Ravi Shastri and Kohli’s Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) teammate Glenn Maxwell. Ashwin also lauded Kohli for the way he has conducted himself in all three formats.
Kohli also highlighted the best part of his journey saying that his aim has always been to search for ways to lead the team towards victory.
“Just the pride to play for India, getting to play so many games for India, for me that’s the most special thing. And the focal point of my career till now is I want to find ways to win a game of cricket from any place and I’ll give absolutely everything I have to be able to do that,” Kohli said in the video.
Before the tournament, Kohli had announced that he will be stepping down as T20I captain and Rohit is one of the top contenders to take the top job.
