To be the GOAT contender of a team sport you need to have endearing meme potential
Messi ,Ronaldo, LeBron James, Virat Kohli all have extremely memeable moments and meme potential. Even memes that do not mock them (Ronaldo sipping image, Messi as a whole, all the Le memes, Kohli frowning meme)
Rohit Sharma despite being genda has zero memeable potential. You just feel disgusted seeing Sharma so he is not one of the cricket greats
