“As far as Rahul bhai is concerned, I’ve huge respect for him as a person firstly and then obviously as a cricketer. He doesn’t want any communication gap among players, support staff, or anyone else for that matter. His number one rule is that whatever the matter is will be communicated to the concerned individual. We’ve got an open relationship; we keep talking about things and players. I’ve really enjoyed my time with him,” Rohit Sharma shared during the interview on Vimal Kumar’s YouTube channel.

Rohit Sharma also provided insights into his camaraderie with former captain Virat Kohli.
