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 Saturday, India opener and limited-overs vice-captain Rohit Sharma joined Bangladesh opener, Tamim Iqbal for a live Facebook session. During the interaction, Rohit Sharma revealed how the Indian team doesn’t get any support in Bangladesh. He adds it is possibly the only place where the Indian team doesn’t have any support.  He also complimented Bangladesh cricket for their transformation into a cricketing giant.

“India and Bangladesh have passionate cricket fans, when we make mistakes, we are criticized from all corners. I know it is similar in Bangladesh, I know how passionate fans can get in Bangladesh. When we come to the ground to play the match, it is unbelievable, India is not used to playing without any sort of crowd support, Bangladesh is the only place where we do not get any support,” Rohit said.
