'Witty' Rohit Sharma is back: "Our media manager delayed our press conference"

While Rohit Sharma is known for explosive batting, he has shown his witty side frequently especially at press conferences. Ahead of the India-Sri Lanka match in Mumbai, the press conference, starring the captain, started with laughs and ended with laughs.

 

 

 

 

When asked how it feels to have everything going right Rohit calmly said, “I know how this works… one game here and there, and suddenly I will become a bad captain!”

 

 

When a journalist asked a long, winding question on Sachin Tendulkar’s just-unveiled statue at the stadium, and asked Rohit to wax eloquent on the beauty of the statue, the captain first decided to first take a friendly shot at the media manager, Anand Subramaniam.

 

"We didn’t get to see it [the statue] so closely because we were practicing and our media manager delayed the press conference…", taunting him for delaying the pre-scheduled presser due to the trophy unveiling.

 

 

"What do I say now?", This sentence of Rohit’s which went viral, made a comeback. When asked about what were his thoughts on Tendulkar’s statue, the reluctance was quite evident.

 

"I haven’t even seen the shot yet," Rohit confessed. "It’s over cover, is it? Straight lofted shot, yes. Ab mai kya bolun? (“Now what should I say in that?)." The entire room erupted in laughter.

 

"Straight lofted shot statue has been made there. It’s nice. I hope you guys enjoyed it".

 

 

Fans enjoyed seeing this side of Rohit Sharma, too.
