'Will treasure this': Jos Buttler grateful for signed Team India jersey from Rohit Sharma

'Will treasure this': Jos Buttler revealed he had been given a signed Team India jersey by Rohit Sharma and said the gesture meant a great deal to him. He described Rohit as a favourite player and made clear he would keep the jersey close.

The exchange followed a high-profile India-England ODI series in which Rohit Sharma delivered the decisive performance at Lord's, striking a century in the series decider. Rohit finished as India's leading run-scorer in the ODI series. Rohit Sharma remains one of cricket's greatest ODI batters.

Buttler’s acknowledgement of the gift was brief but sincere; the signed jersey was presented by Rohit and promptly noted by the England player. The phrase 'Will treasure this' was used by Buttler to sum up his feelings about receiving the item. He also referred to Rohit as a favourite player, underlining his admiration for the Indian opener.

Rohit’s century at Lord’s came in the match that settled the series, a contribution that left him top of India’s run charts for the ODI set. That form across the series is reflected in his status as the team's chief run-getter. The achievement reinforced assessments of his standing among contemporary one-day batters.

The gift and Buttler’s public reaction drew attention because it linked two leading white-ball players from opposing sides through a personal token. The signed Team India jersey serves as a tangible memento of Rohit’s performance in the series and of the encounter between the teams. Buttler’s words highlighted the personal significance he attached to the present.

Rohit’s on-field success in the series and the off-field gesture together underline his prominence in the format and the regard in which fellow players hold him. For Buttler, the signed jersey will be a keepsake; for observers, it underlines Rohit Sharma’s impact during the India-England ODI contests.
