Indian vice-captain in the limited-overs format, Rohit Sharma is confident of cementing his place in the longest format, taking inspiration from former Australia captain Michael Hussey and Portuguese football star Cristiano Ronaldo.

Sharma, who is nursing a calf injury and was subsequently ruled out of the New Zealand ODI and Test series, sounded hopeful of a strong show in Test cricket and stated how age was not an issue in the current era in any sport and people who were willing to learn always found a way out.

“There is a very Australian cricketer Michael Hussey, he made his Australian (Test) debut when he was 30. He played for 6-7 years and he is called Mr. Cricket. This is good learning for all of us, there is no age to start any sport.”

“Ronaldo is a big example. He lost his father at an early age. He was brought up by his mother alone, it was not an easy household to be a part of. But look where he is now. You can’t stop believing."
