5 times when Rohit Sharma stumped reporters with his savage response in press conference
While his predecessors were more eloquent speakers, Rohit is more quick-witted and blunt with his responses.
4. Rohit Sharma defends Virat Kohli after a prolonged lean run of form
Former Indian skipper and batting maestro Virat Kohli is going through an unprecedented slump with the bat, that continued in the recently concluded white-ball series against hosts England.
Amidst widespread criticism of the elegant batter, Rohit Sharma batted for the underfire Indian cricketer and retaliated with a fiery reply to a reporter who asked about Kohli in the aftermath of a poor outing against the English side in the second ODI at Lord’s.
The Indian skipper had rubbished talks on his teammate’s form after the first ODI and was seemingly irritated after the question was raised for a second successive presser.
The reporter enquired about the talk on Virat’s form, “Virat Kohli ke baare me itni baat ho rahi hai? (So much is being talked about Kohli).”
A visibly irritated Rohit Sharma silenced the critics with a raging response, “Kyon ho rahi hai, matlab mujhe samajh me nhi aata hai? Yaar matlab bande ne itne run banaye hai, mujhe to samajh nahi aa raha form pe discussion kyun ho rhi hai. (Why is it happening, I do not understand. Someone who has made so many runs is being questioned over his form. I don’t understand this).”
