New Delhi, October 4: Indian men's cricket team opener Rohit Sharma stated that his best is yet to come in Test format after having a phenomenal tour of England.

The century in the fourth Test at Kennington Oval was also Rohit's maiden overseas triple-figure mark.
"England tour was a good one for me. I won't call it my best, because my best in Test cricket is still to come," Rohit said in a virtual press conference organised by Adidas.

While he had a brilliant series, there was a lot of debate after the final Test had to be called off as there was a COVID-19 scare in the Indian camp. While India will play a Test on the next tour, it is yet to be decided whether it will be the continuation of the recent series or a one-off Test. Rohit feels the series is done and India has won 2-1.
"In my eyes, we have won the series (2-1). I don't know what will happen with the final Test of the series yet -- whether we will play it as a one-off Test or the series will be decided as it is. We don't have any clarity on that yet," the Indian opener pointed.
