Dhruv Jurel, a rising star in Indian cricket, has hailed Rohit Sharma as the "Greatest of All Time" (GOAT). In an interview with JioCinema, Jurel expressed his admiration for Sharma's batting skills and his ability to effortlessly handle challenging deliveries. He also highlighted Sharma's iconic pull shot as a testament to his exceptional talent. This praise comes ahead of India's upcoming Test series against Bangladesh, which begins on September 19.
Rohit Sharma's impressive cricket career
Sharma has established himself as one of the finest batters in international cricket, with nearly 11,000 ODI runs to his name. He boasts an average of over 49 in ODIs and more than 45 in Test cricket. Despite retiring from T20Is in June this year, Sharma remains the leading run-scorer in this format with a total of 4,231 runs across 159 matches.

The Indian cricket team, led by Sharma, is preparing for a two-match Test series against Bangladesh. The squad includes newcomers Akash Deep and Yash Dayal, as well as Rishabh Pant who is making a comeback after recovering from a severe accident in December 2022. Virat Kohli will also be returning to the Test format for this series, following his absence during the home Test series against England due to the birth of his son Akaay.

KL Rahul is set to rejoin the Test team after an injury sidelined him for most of the England Test series. Jasprit Bumrah will also be making his comeback to the Indian team, following his last appearance in the T20 World Cup 2024 final. The spin quartet of Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, and Kuldeep Yadav are expected to bolster India's performance in both batting and bowling departments.
