With no cricket going on, all the cricketers have a lot of free time on their hands right now. Many cricketers have also been proactive on their social media in the past few weeks due to the lockdown. On Tuesday, Indian opener Rohit Sharma joined hands with fellow teammate Suresh Raina for an Instagram live session wherein the Mumbai Indians skipper stressed on how India must win at least two World Cups in the coming three years.
Speaking with Indian cricketer Suresh Raina during the Instagram live session, Rohit said, “It is not easy to win the World Cup, there is a different feeling altogether when you win that tournament, feelings and emotions are attached to that tournament. It’s difficult to beat seven-eight teams and win a world cup final. But when you win the world cup your joy doubles.”
