5 times India found a new star in the same series when a legend bid goodbye

#1 Sachin Tendulkar - Rohit Sharma

“I can see those youngsters… Virat and Rohit are the ones. As long as an Indian betters it, I don’t mind,” said Tendulkar when his career was drawing to a close.

And just like that as this 25-year long stellar career was drawing to an emotional end, fellow Mumbaikar Rohit Sharma got his Test debut in the very same series against the West Indies in 2013.

Rohit might not have sealed his Test spot as of now, but his start was stupendous as he scored two centuries in his first two matches and the baton was passed.

It should also be noted here that in 2013, Rohit was first pushed to open the innings in the limited overs format and this was the watershed moment in his career and five years down the line, he has become one of the best openers in coloured clothing.
