The Hitman Rohit Sharma, who smashed his third double hundred in ODIs here, has scored seven hundreds this year (six in ODIs and one in Tests) marking a successful return to international cricket following a thigh surgery last November, and the dashing right-handee had little hesitation in calling 2017 the “best year” of his decade-old international career.
“I would say this year has been the best year for me as a cricketer. I have been hitting the ball well,” said Rohit after India’s series leveling win against Sri Lanka.
“I keep telling myself that if an opportunity arises, I have to be ready for it. What has happened in the past, I have no regrets. The future is bright. The last five six months that has been the mindset,” said Rohit.
“I wanted to be ready for Test matches. I knew the combination which we play, five bowlers sometimes and sometimes four, I may play or may not. I just have to prepare myself in a way that I am playing every game be at my best,” added Rohit.
“I am just trying to convert as many starts as I can, I know it is not going to happen all the time but when it happens, I try to make most of it,” the stand-in skipper quipped.
