Indian captain Rohit Sharma displayed his trademark humor when confronted with a question about the most challenging Pakistani fast bowler he has encountered. In a light-hearted manner, Rohit opted for diplomacy, quipping that he prefers to steer clear of controversies by refraining from naming any specific bowler. Adding a touch of amusement to the moment, his wife Ritika Sajdeh, present in the audience, responded in kind to her husband’s witty remark.
Rohit’s response was candidly captured, “Sab acche bowlers hain. Main kisi ka naam nahi lunga, bahut bada bada controversy hota hain naam lia to” (All are good bowlers. I won’t take anyone’s name. It will give rise to controversies if I take names).
