Deccan Chargers captain Adam Gilchrist on Wednesday heaped praise on his deputy Rohit Sharma and said the youngster from Mumbai is a 'class act' and is destined for more glory.
"He has been in great form last year as well and has done pretty well in the Indian One-day and Twenty20 teams. He is a class act," Gilchrist said after the team's 24-run win against Bangalore Royal Challengers.
