Fresh off his stellar performance in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, Rohit continues to be a force to be reckoned with. He finished the tournament as the second-highest run-scorer with 257 runs, leading the Indian batting charge. Also, his captaincy proved pivotal in India’s thrilling seven-run victory over South Africa in Bridgetown, Barbados.
Rohit Sharma’s Tennis hero
When asked about his all-time favourite Tennis player, Rohit readily named Roger Federer.
“Just the person he is… more than the icon, more than the player he is,” Rohit explained, admiring Federer’s enduring humility despite his remarkable career achievements.
“Just the humility he brings. [You know] after winning so much of it, the way he is off the court and how he treats himself on the court as well, I just love that,” the Mumbaikar added.
Rohit’s presence at Wimbledon further demonstrates the growing connection between cricket and tennis, attracting a global audience of sports enthusiasts.
