“Lekin meri Rohit se utna zyada phone pe baat nahi hote…Pata nahi, Rohit se main mazaak bhi nahi kar pata halanki humari Test debut saath hi hui hai…Virat se mere baat bhi hojati hai. Mazzak bhi chalti rehti hai beech beech mein. Virat ke taraf jaunga. Isiliye nahi ki woh captain hai par bonding zyada achi hai usse. (I don’t interact much with Rohit on phone. Don’t know, but Rohit and I hardly even bond on jokes etc. Though we have debuted in Test together…With Virat, we both talk on all sorts of things (music taste or regarding any joke). We even interact quite often over the phone. Hence, I will go towards Virat in this case. It is not because he is the captain, but we bond in a much better way),” said Mohammed Shami according to Times Now.
