Rohit Sharma made his long-awaited Test debut in November 2013 against the West Indies during Sachin Tendulkar’s farewell series. Initially set to debut in 2010 but delayed by injury, Rohit scored an impressive 177 runs on debut and followed it with another century, marking a significant transition in Indian cricket. The coincidence of Tendulkar’s farewell with Rohit’s Test debut marked a symbolic transition.
