This innings has led many people to acknowledge the greatenss of the current Indian Cricket Team (ICT) skipper and especially Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), who have laid praise for the MI batter. What makes the tweet even more interesting is the fact that Eden Gardens is the hunting ground of Rohit Sharma, and has many memories associated with it.
