Why does this tribute feel special?
This tribute means a lot right now because Rohit Sharma just said goodbye to Test cricket. He played 67 Test matches for India and gave fans so many memories.
Not long ago, Wankhede Stadium even named a stand after him. That kind of honour doesn’t happen for everyone- it is only given to the real greats.
Now, with the Test chapter of his career closed, Mumbai Indians are making sure fans get to show their love one more time, in their own stadium, in a way that’s loud, visible, and emotional.
