2. ‘Don’t ask me anything from before 2013’
Rohit Sharma’s true talent came after he was handed over the position of the opening batsman by MS Dhoni in 2013. Before that, he played as a middle-order batsman and was not so known cricketer in India though he played some effective innings.
In 2018 against South Africa, in the post-match conference, he gave a hilarious reply to journalists. And one of them in regard to his success after 2013. He said ” Since 2013, I have started to open the innings. So, don’t take into consideration whatever had happened before 2013 just forget that.”
In the same conference, a media person questioned that middle order didn’t get many chances to bat because the top order completes the job. To this, Rohit accepted the fact and gave a hilarious reply,” If us top three are batting well, we can’t retire hurt and come back to the pavilion.”
