While Rohit Sharma made his international debut under Rahul Dravid, it was under MS Dhoni that he became the player he is today. It was in 2013 that the 33-year old got promoted to the top of the order in white-ball cricket. Since then, he has remained unstoppable. He has mustered 7000 out of his 9000 runs in ODI cricket and is ranked number two in the ODI rankings.

Below is Rohit’s tweet dedicated to MS Dhoni:

One of the most influential man in the history of Indian cricket?His impact in & around cricket was massive. He was a man with vision and a master in knowing how to build a team. Will surely miss him in blue but we have him in yellow.
