Rohit Sharma has a wonderful 2019 season where he won the Man of the Series award in the West Indies ODIs, where he amassed 258 runs from three matches in India’s 2-1 win. Rohit broke former Sri Lanka player Sanath Jayasuriya’s 22-year old record for most runs in a calendar year across formats as well. He has scored 2388 runs across formats while Jayasuriya scored 1997 runs. India opener said a World Cup win would have been good but he was grateful for the success.

“I’m extremely grateful for the year I had. A World Cup win would have been nice but we played well throughout the year as a team, be it red ball or white ball cricket. The team came together well,” he said.

Rohit was pushed to the opening slot in the longer format of the game this year and had tasted instant success with three centuries against South Africa at home, including a double-ton as well. However, he shared that he won’t stop here.

“I’ve enjoyed batting, but there’s no way I’m going to stop here,” he said. “There’s an exciting year coming up and I’m looking forward to it.”

”The understanding of my batting, playing within my limits, knowing the game plan you want to execute is very important. Even in the red-ball, against South Africa. We know the challenges will come when we start traveling. We have to win games and make sure we stay on top of the table,” Rohit Sharma concluded.
