Five players who can try to replace Sachin Tendulkar in Tests

Rohit Sharma

The stylish Mumbai batsman has already carved a place for himself in the limited-overs formats with some scintillating knocks at the top of the order in recent times. However, when it comes to Test cricket, he has faced a bit of resistance from other contenders.

Sachin’s retirement opens up a lot of possibilities, and Rohit has the natural talent to take his spot, with sublime wrist-work and immaculate timing. But he has to remain consistent and not give in to the pressure to score big at a rapid pace.

For someone who gives the impression of having that extra half a second to play the ball, Rohit has long been considered a wasted talent. This is his one chance for redemption, and he needs to take it with both hands.
