India, May 8 -- India batter Shubman Gill on Thursday shared a stirring post on social media in reaction to Rohit Sharma's sudden announcement of his retirement from Test cricket. Rohit confirmed his decision on Wednesday evening, shortly amid reports that he might not be picked for the England Test series in June.

Gill, who is rumoured to replace Rohit as the next India captain in Test cricket, shared a lengthy post as an Instagram story, congratulating him on his impressive career.

"India is grateful for what you've done in tests as a player and a captain. You've been an absolute inspiration to me and everyone that has played with or against you. There are things I've learnt from you that I'm going to remember forever. Happy retiremen...
