Sharma's Vision for Indian Cricket

"I want India to be the powerhouse of world cricket…that is the bottom line as I want India to be the best and cricket is right up there.
What we have done in the last three years has been superb to watch.

I hope we continue our winning streak," said Rohit Sharma, former Indian captain.
