The Legend of Rohit Sharma

[sage]

When you are 80 years old, wrapped in a blanket and comfy in your rocking chair by an open fire, surrounded by your great-grandchildren; you can tell the spellbound youngsters about the time you saw Lord Rohit Sharma equal, then beat Sachin's ODI double hundred record with effortless stroke-play against the dominant soon to be again world champion Australian team including a record 16 sixes.

 

The fire crackles as the children gasp in awe. Rain begins to fall outside the window as your tale comes to an end, but the youngsters are still thirsty for more. 'Tell us about the 264 he scored against Lanka again Grandpapa' one child begs. 'No, no! The legendary hat trick against Mumbai Indians!' implores another. The oldest boy pipes up. 'Be quiet you two, Grandad tells those ones all the time. Go on, tell us the one you promised us last time - the 177 vs West Indies...Grandad..G-Grandad?'

 

The rocking chair creaks to a halt. A serene expression is on your face and all of Rohit's hundreds flash before your eyes in your final moments as the children embrace you. His one World Cup hundred in the deadly quarter final against Bangladesh, the 150 in Kanpur. That cut shot against Steyn. They know what is happening. They are scared, but calm.
 

The last thing you hear as you slide into the black warmth of death is the youngest boy - old beyond his years, and a cricket fanatic who spends every free moment outside hitting a battered leather ball against the wall. 'Don't be sad. He lived a hell of a life. In the age of Rohit.'
