India's star batsman Rohit Sharma, who made his debut for the Indian team in June 2007, took to social media to congratulate the recently retired pacer Praveen Kumar who made his mark in the Indian colours around the same time as Rohit.

"We almost started at the same time playing for the country, lots of fun, laugh and good cricket. I cannot forget his spell in CB series 2nd final, it was magical. To a brother, friend and a team mate have a good retirement buddy @praveenkumar," the Mumbai batsman wrote. Fondly called PK, Praveen played 6 Tests, 68 ODIs and 10 T20Is for India where he picked 27, 77 and 8 wickets respectively.
