Wow, look who's ahead of Pujara. Seems the werewolf got better of the vampire.

Kudos to Rohit, very well deserved. Some naysayers should stop questioning his abilities. Respect one of the all time great Indian batsman

[ShoonyaSifar]

The same Rohit Sharma whom Kohli did not want for the Aus series, even went public blaming him for being dishonest about his fitness status.

 

The same Rohit Sharma who has saved Kohli's captaincy in the last two tests showing how to bat on terrible pitches.

Rohit has been outstanding in this series. All this flat roads hundreds aside, these two he played in last one month remains most special.

[Autonomous]

I wish we had one player like him, only one.

he will reach top 5 but has to stay there consistently

[First class]

When he is not dismissed cheaply, he takes away the match from the opposing team. Scores big and at rapid pace, the new Sehwag.

All time great. Better than kohli, Williamson, Steve Smith and honorable mention babar Adam.

Deserving ranking. Rohit is the best Indian batsman in Indian conditions. More than competitive when he tours. Overall the Indian batsman in all formats combined. Champion.

Very hard to break into top 5.

Will need to perform away from home too

He looked really good in Australia. He will have to play well in England though. But I'm sure he will come good. Too good to miss out.

Keep improving
