Dear @ImRo45,
As far as I've known you, every time you've been criticised, you've answered with your performances. We need that same Rohit once again at Lord's. Don't disappoint. Your 2027 World Cup dream is at stake, and one big knock is all it takes to silence every critic.
You once said "Those three pillars with the globe in the middle...every cricketer dreams of lifting that trophy."
What happened to that dream? Remember those words. Remember who you are.
You were once labelled a home-track bully, but you answered by becoming the player with the most ODI centuries in SENA.
You were mocked for failing in big tournaments, but you replied with back to back 500+ run World Cup campaigns.
You were criticised for not scoring overseas Test centuries, but you silenced everyone with a match-winning hundred at The Oval.
You were told you were only good enough to captain in the IPL, but you responded by leading India to back to back ICC titles without losing a single match.
You were trolled over your fitness, yet became the oldest player to win Player of the Series.
You were labelled a choker in ICC knockouts, but today no Indian has won more Player of the Match awards in ICC knockout matches than you.
You were criticised for your T20 World Cup performances, then became India's highest run-scorer and lifted the trophy.
You were questioned about your ICC finals record, then answered by winning the Player of the Match award in an ICC final.
You were written off in the ICC rankings, but fought your way back to become the World No. 1 ODI batter at the age of 38.
Now they're saying you don't deserve a place in India's 2027 World Cup squad. Reply the way you always have, with your bat. One unforgettable knock at Lord's. Don't let the dream of lifting those three pillars with the globe in the middle end like this.
Don't disappoint, We'll always be with you๐ค๐ฎ๐ณ
Thank you for everything idol
You had a great career and made my life so much better with your batting. I knew the day would come sooner or later and the worldcup is not in our destiny to win it.
With or without any glory
Then. Now. Forever

@Udit1245@GovindIstOdraza That time was different ig now age will also come in consideration, and the form he is in with all those burdens and pressures it seems impossible
So the greatest world cup batter is not giving his last shot at the 27WC. Somethings are never meant to be yours no matter how much you try. You tried your best my love โค๏ธ.
Now in your last match show us that ROHIT SHARMA which you used to be.
๐จ NO ROHIT SHARMA FOR WORLD CUP. ๐จ
