Finishing his top five, Rohit Sharma named VVS Laxman and Sourav Ganguly, who played exceptional knocks during their career.
“When I was young, I had seen no one other than Paaji (Sachin). Then later, I started following other cricketers. There was Rahul (Dravid) Bhai who scored a lot of hundreds in the England series of 2002. I think there were a lot of good knocks in that series,” Rohit said.
”Then there is Viru (Virender Sehwag) Bhai. The way he batted at the top of the innings was enough to kill half of the bowlers’ confidence. Then, of course, there is VVS Laxman and Dada (Sourav Ganguly). These are the top five that I have seen,” he said during the Instagram Live interaction.
