Rohit Sharma’s, the captain of Team India, was once again at his comedic best when answering a question about which Pakistani bowler would be the most difficult to face. He jokingly stated that he wouldn’t choose any one name since the others would feel horrible and that may cause a significant debate while yet acknowledging that all of them are wonderful. Ritika Sajdeh, Rohit’s wife, and the reporters were inconsolable after hearing his response.
India was led by Rohit throughout the most recent Tests in the West Indies. The skipper was therefore rested for two of the three ODIs in the series, which the Men in Blue won 2-1. The visitors had won the two-match Test series, 1-0. He is absent from the current T20I series.
Rohit was questioned about the most difficult Pakistani bowler to face at a gathering in the USA. He responded in a funny way:
“The Pakistani squad is doing well. The name Mai Kisi is not long. (“Bada bada controversy hota hai”) All of Pakistan’s pacers are excellent. I’m not picking anyone, I promise. It stirs up a lot of debate).”
“Toh doosre ko acha nahi lagta, ek ka naam lete hai. Toh teesre ko acha nahi lagta, doosre ka lete hai. If I steal the name of one player, the other would feel horrible, or Saare hi ache hai. The third player will feel horrible if I steal the name of the second player. I believe they are all excellent),” the Indian skipper continued.”
On September 2 at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, the bitter rivals India and Pakistan will square off in the Asia Cup 2023.
Rohit Sharma’s recalls his feelings about skipping the 2011 World Cup: “I decided I was not going to watch the World Cup“
When India hosted the 2011 World Cup, Rohit was not a member of the Men in Blue team. Reminiscing about those unfortunate occasions, he disclosed that although he had initially planned to skip the World Cup, he really kept a careful eye on the events.
“The 2011 World Cup was a remarkable one for all of us. I recall watching every match, every ball that was bowled, and every play from home. I felt two different sorts of feelings. The first was a disappointment since I could see I wasn’t a part of it. I made the decision not to watch the World Cup, but the second thing I recall is how brilliantly India played from the quarterfinals on, the 36-year-old said.”
India eventually won the 2011 World Cup, breaking a 28-year drought for the nation.
