The veteran Indian opener, Rohit Sharma is India’s most capped T20I player and one of the senior members of the team, but when it comes to conducting interviews, he is still a “youngster” for the Indian leg-spinner, Yuzvendra Chahal. The leg-spinner is famed for his ‘Chahal TV’ interviews after matches, but in his absence from the Test team, Rohit was seen quizzing India’s fast bowling heroes from the recently-concluded day-night Test at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens.
In response to the video shared by the BCCI, Chahal wrote: “Good job by New anchor Rohitaa Sharamaaaa”, before cheekily adding “keep it up youngster”. ‘Rohita Sharma’ has become a nickname often used by Chahal for the destructive opener.

Chahal’s interviews for BCCI have gained a lot of popularity, with him and his guests rarely ever failing to entertain. After India’s win in the second T20I against Bangladesh in Rajkot, Rohit was taking the interview and he turned the tables on Chahal by telling him that he had enough power to smash sixes as well and asking him to show off his biceps.
India’s win in Kolkata secured their third consecutive series clean sweep. India will next take on West Indies in three T20Is and three ODIs in December when Chahal and “Chahal TV” will return to action as well.
