However, he also added that they were making fun of him because of the fact that he is famous for forgetting things. Rohit Sharma is known to forget his valuable things in the team hotels and flights more often than not. Though the Indian batsman also assured he will make sure that such things never happen again as he is becoming a father soon.

Sharma further added, “The reaction came in because of the mannerism and the things I have done in my previous years. They think I am irresponsible, obviously in a funny way. But I am gonna make sure that everything changes.”

As far as his on-field heroics are concerned, Rohit is currently involved in the four-match Test series against Australia and scored an impressive half-century in the ongoing MCG Test. Though he failed in the second innings scoring only five runs off 18 deliveries.
