His shot-selection was very classy and the way he was playing the spinners for ones and twos was a treat to watch. He again showed that \u201cform is temporary but class is permanent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rohit has always been considered as a legend in the making and even on the occasion of his 100th hundred celebrations at Mukesh Ambani\u2019s residence Sachin Tendulkar said he saw Rohit and Virat to break his records in next 10 to 15 years.
