Dinesh sir

Swami Vivekanand International School: : Rohit Sharma’s retirement speech, marking the end of a glorious international career, has unexpectedly stirred controversy among Mumbai’s cricketing circles. The legendary opener failed to mention his childhood coach, Dinesh Lad, a name many consider instrumental in shaping his cricketing journey, leaving several former and current Mumbai cricketers disappointed.

“The coach who shaped him into a world-class cricketer, how could he forget to mention him? Look at Virat Kohli, he never misses a chance to credit Rajkumar sir. This wasn’t right on Rohit’s part,” a Mumbai cricketer told IANS, expressing the sentiment shared by many in the local cricketing community.

“At the Wankhede, Rohit thanked everyone, but not Dinesh sir. That was really strange,” said another cricketer. “He’s the one who treated Rohit like family, who shaped him into a great batsman. I know Dinesh Sir won’t say anything publicly, but this has shocked many young cricketers. You must always respect the coach who made you what you are in the world.”
