Indian skipper Rohit Sharma lost his cool when was asked about his current form and future on the eve of the first ODI against England in Nagpur. During the press conference ahead of the first ODI of a three-match series. Notably, Rohit hasn’t been inn good touch with the bat in the last few months and had a forgettable outing during the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy down under. The Indian skipper is also set to return in ODI cricket after the last series against Sri Lanka in August 2024.
During the press conference, a reporter asked Rohit Sharma about his recent form and return in ODI cricket. The question didn’t suit well with the Indian skipper as he said “What kind of a question is that? This is a different format, a different time. As usual, as cricketers, we know there will be ups and downs and I have faced a lot in my career, so this is nothing new to me. We know every day is a fresh day, every series is a fresh series.”
How is it relevant that I talk about my future plans: Rohit Sharma
Speaking further, Rohit Sharma also fumed at reporters for asking questions regarding his form ahead of the first ODI against England. The Indian skipper also his cool when was asked about any other plan if all-rounder Hardik Pandya gets injured looking at his past.
“How is it relevant that I talk about my future plans sitting here when there are three ODIs and a Champions Trophy coming up. Reports have been going around for a number of years, but I am not here to clarify those reports. For me, these three games and the Champions Trophy are very important, so my focus is on these games. We will see what happens afterwards,” Rohit said.
“Why are we thinking about the negatives? That he will get injured, this will happen, that will happen. In the minds of the selectors, there are things. I can’t say that here. We played the World Cup when they got injured. He got injured in the third or fourth match. After that, we played the whole tournament. Although we lost the final, we played good cricket till the final. So now, I won’t think about what will happen if we get injured,” the Indian skipper added.
