India's former speedster Irfan Pathan said that Indian skipper Rohit Sharma's name will create history and will be counted among the top-most players and captains of Team India if he wins the Test series against South Africa.

Rohit will play an important role in India's matches against the "Proteas" as he will be featured as captain and opening batsman. If he can play the new ball without having any difficulty then it would be easier for the batsmen to come, Pathan said while speaking to Star Sports.
