Rohit Sharma Hands Signed Jersey to Jos Buttler After England ODI Series
England's Jos Buttler reveals he received a personalised India jersey from Rohit Sharma, calling it a cherished memento.
Indian opener Rohit Sharma surprised England's Jos Buttler with a signed India jersey following the three-match ODI series. Buttler shared a photo on Instagram, showing the shirt with a personal message from Sharma: "Dear Jos, loved my time playing with and against you."
The gesture comes just days after Sharma smashed 138 runs at Lord's to seal the series for India, a performance that silenced retirement speculation. The 39-year-old may have played his last international match on English soil, making the gift even more poignant.
Sharma and Buttler have shared a long rivalry on the field and a brief stint as teammates for Mumbai Indians in the IPL, where they won the 2017 title together. Buttler described the jersey as "the one opposition player's shirt I've always wanted."
