Rohit Sharma reacts over India-England Test series outcome, says ‘In my mind we have won the series 2-1’

The
fifth
Test
in
Manchester
was
abandoned
after
Team
India’s
junior
physio
Yogesh
Parmar
tested
positive
for
COVID-19
and
was
found
to
be
in
direct
contact
with
the
players.
This
was
after
some
senior
members
of
the
Indian
support
staff
were
also
found
to
be
infected.

The
BCCI
has
agreed
to
play
the
fifth
Test
in
July
2022.
BCCI
president
Sourav
Ganguly
has
said
that
it
will
be
an
extension
of
this
year’s
series
and
not
a
one-off
game
that
England
want.

“I
don’t
know
what’s
happening
with
the
last
Test
match.
Whether
we
are
playing
a
one-off
Test
(next
year)
but
in
my
mind,
we
have
won
the
series
2-1,”
Rohit
said
during
sports
apparel
giant
Adidas’ campaign
‘Impossible
Is
Nothing’
which
also
features
Tokyo
Olympic
medallists
weightlifter
Mirabai
Chanu
and
boxer
Lovlina
Borgohain
among
other
sports
stars.

Asked
if
the
England
series,
where
he
scored
more
than
400
runs
with
a
hundred
and
two
fifties
in
four
games
is
a
milestone
series
for
him,
he
replied:
“It
was
a
good
one
considering
where
I
was
standing
in
my
Test
career.”

But
the
soon-to-be
T20
captain
refused
to
call
it
his
best
series.
“It’s
not
my
best
series.
I
feel
my
best
is
yet
to
come.
I
utilised
the
time
before
the
World
Test
Championship
final
in
Southampton
(to
figure)
what
sort
of
technique
and
mindset
is
required.
I
was
pretty
happy
and
would
like
to
take
it
further.”

Rohit
has
been
actively
involved
with
the
‘Save
the
Rhinos’ campaign
and
also
for
a
plastic-free
sustainable
planet.
He
spoke
about
his
experience
thus
far.

“It
was
in
2014
when
I
went
to
Kenya
and
was
really
sad
knowing
about
the
condition
of
rhinos.
India
and
Africa
are
two
places
where
we
have
the
maximum
rhino
population.
“I
often
thought
that
why
don’t
I
carry
my
cause
on
to
the
field,”
Rohit
said
about
the
company’s
specially
designed
cricket
shoes
which
carry
the
message
of
saving
the
rhinos.
