Here we have Richard's old Forehand back in October 2010. As we can see Richard had some common elements with Rohit's Forehands:
Big Backswing where the racquet head goes very far above his head. Although Richard kept his racquet much more on the right side of his body so his swing was smaller than Rohit's.
The right elbow was very tucked in to the body during the forward swing till contact point, just like Rohit.
Richard's extension was minimum, where the right hand was close to the body during the followthrough. Even on the video 3 which was Richard's best his extension could still be much better.
So these were the similarities between Richard's old Forehand and Rohit's. When comparing both forehands it is easy to see that Richard had a more developed technique, but Rohit has much more time to improve and develop it due to his young age.
