Indian veteran batter Rohit Sharma has shed light on his bond with Virat Kohli amid the ODI series against the West Indies. Rohit and Virat have been playing with each other for a long time and share a great bonhomie, both on and off the field.
Both Kohli and Rohit have played an instrumental role in the success of the team over the years. Both players have a lot of experience under their belt, and they are going to hold the key in the ODI World Cup 2027.
Rohit said every player has a different method of going about their business, but the ultimate goal remains the same.
“There’s a strong camaraderie between the two of us, and we understand what it requires to be at a certain level when you’re playing at this level. Methods are different, obviously, but that’s how it should be, every individual is different. For what he has done for the team, for this team, there is no question; there is no asking what he has done. It’s there for everyone to see it. And what he is going to do from here on now, I don’t think anything has changed,” Rohit Sharma said of Virat Kohli.
“He’ll be the same Kohli that we know of: wants to come, prepare well, go get the runs, win games for Team India. Yeah, that’s what I see with him. When he was captain, pretty much the same. When I was captain, pretty much the same. And I don’t see any reason why anything needs to change,” he added.
On the other hand, Rohit also recalled the origin of the Ro-Ko tag, which has been given to the pair by the broadcasters.
“I think we were together. This started, I think, when we were playing in Australia, or right after Australia when we came to India. That’s when this started, and whenever this plays on TV, we look at each other and laugh. Which is good; it’s fun. People want masala, so there you go, there is some masala,” Rohit Sharma added.
Rohit and Virat will be seen in action in the second ODI against the West Indies.
