Despite the novelty of cricket in the Italian sports realm, Rohit’s determination to excel was palpable from his early years.
Rohit's journey in cricket began humbly, as he would often be seen practising on makeshift pitches with friends. His talent was spotted during a local tournament, where his unique bowling prowess came into the spotlight. With his distinctive ability to adapt his bowling according to the conditions, Rohit quickly climbed the cricketing ladder, eventually making his professional debut for Italy at the young age of 20.
