Former legendary West Indies batter Sir Vivian Richards has revealed that he has been a big fan of Indian captain Rohit Sharma. While talking to sports journalist Vimal Kumar, Richards revealed that he is a big fan of Rohit Sharma even before the took the captaincy reins from Virat Kohli.

Sharma is well known to get the best out of his players and he has been doing a fine job for the team, both as a leader and a top-order batter.

Sir Viv Richards said, “I have always liked Rohit and especially when Virat was the captain. I have been a big fan of Rohit even before he became the captain.”

“I admire him and all those individuals who have built Indian cricket and played a vital role in making it the place it is today. I am a fan of good batsmen and you guys mean that great batsmen have always come to India.”

India has produced world-class batters and Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Sachin Tendulkar are among the best we have ever seen in the sport.
