Indian deputy Rohit Sharma has dedicated his blistering knock to Rhino ‘Sudan’. Sudan was world’s last male northern white rhino. Sadly, Sudan died in November last year.
In fact, Rohit Sharma had also posted an emotional message when the endangered species became extinct. Rohit blamed the humans who were responsible for the hunting of the poor animal.
Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma was on fire in the final and third T20I against England. The flamboyant batsman scored a fine 100 off just 56 balls to take his team over the line with seven wickets in hand. Rohit scored 11 fours and five maximums in his knock.
Furthermore, the stylish batsman scored some delightful strokes in his blistering knock. Rohit had looked off color in the first T20I and he was dismissed cheaply in the second T20I. However, the Indian deputy was finally able to come up good in the all-important decider of the series.
Rohit also scored his third T20I hundred. Thus, the right-hander joined New Zealand’s Colin Munro to score the maximum number of centuries in the shortest format.
Meanwhile, Rohit had also posted when Sudan had died in November. The Rhino was 45 years old. Furthermore, we have also notice former England skipper Kevin Pietersen working towards saving the World’s remaining Rhinos.
“The last Male has fallen We Did This the last Northern White African male rhino marks the certain extinction of this incredible species. Rest in peace Sudan, you deserved so much better. On behalf of all mankind, I’m sorry We Did This,” Rohit had posted.
However, according to reports, there are only two females left to save the subspecies from getting extinct.
Rohit Sharma took to Twitter to dedicate his hundred to his old friend. The right-hander post read as Yesterday’s innings is dedicated to my fallen friend Sudan ? May we find a way to make this world a better place for all of us.
Here is Rohit’s post:
