New Delhi: Indian batsman Rohit Sharma has extended his contract with the global sportswear giant Adidas.

Adidas already has on board sprinter Hima Das, hockey player Manpreet Singh and heptathlete Swapna Barman.

Rohit has been associated with Adidas since 2013. 

The Indian opener recently became the third fastest batsman along with former skipper Sourav Ganguly to have completed 8,000 runs in One-Day International (ODI) cricket.

"I feel Adidas is the best brand for athletes. I truly believe in their products and the comfort and benefit they offer me in my sport. Further, they have continuously stepped in to provide customised solutions to athletes, including me, thereby helping us overcome many injuries.

"It is the leading sports brand and has played a key role in promoting sports at grassroots, which includes providing world-class platforms and experiences accessible to amateurs and pro-athletes. I look forward to our association going from strength to strength," said Rohit.
