When Rohit Sharma graced the press conference with BCCI chief selector Ajit Agarkar to announce the squad for the Asia Cup 2023, the media couldn't help but be in awe of the cricketer's wit and humor. He was at his jovial best during the squad announcement, taking questions from reporters on the team composition and roles of players.
The reporters posed a query about the lack of all-round options in the squad, to which Rohit gave a hilarious reply. He said, "Hopefully Sharma and Kohli can roll some arm over in the World Cup," leaving everyone in splits. The clip of Rohit's hilarious reply was also posted by the BCCI with the caption, "#TeamIndia captain Rohit Sharma at his inimitable best!"
Another reporter tried to grill him on his flexibility logic, asking if random batting position changes create instability. To this, Rohit replied in an iconic fashion, "No. 5 is Rahul and No. 6 is Hardik, but if there's some change that flexibility is required as we also as youngsters did it. There is a method. We don't do that kind of madness. This is not school rule that numbers 1 to 8 are fixed. It's not about creating mayhem." His sarcasm was not lost on anyone, and soon enough, the hashtag "Ye Pagal Panti Nahi Karte Hum" was trending on Twitter.
Rohit's wit and humor is a delight to the media, and his interactions with the press have often been a source of entertainment. After the squad announcement, fans also reacted to the selection, some of them even joking that the squad was "almost MI Squad".
There's no doubt that Rohit Sharma is an admirable cricketer, both on and off the field.
