'Very Poor English, From The Streets Of Borivali': Rohit Sharma's First Impression Hilariously Recalled By Yuvraj Singh
‘very poor english, from the streets of borivali’: rohit sharma’s first impression recalled by yuvraj singh
Yuvraj Singh, the former Indian cricketer known for his wit and camaraderie, recently shared a lighthearted anecdote about his teammate and current Indian captain, Rohit Sharma. In an interview, Yuvraj reminisced about his first impression of a young Rohit, who joined the Indian team at the tender age of 17.
Yuvraj jokingly recalled, “”Very poor English. Very funny guy. From the streets of Borivali (in Mumbai), we always tease him. But a great guy at heart.”
“The more success he’s had, he has never changed as a person. That’s the beauty of Rohit Sharma. Fun-loving, always having fun with the guys, A great leader on the park and one of my closest friends from cricket. I really want to see Rohit Sharma with a World Cup trophy and a World Cup medal. He really deserves it,” the former India all-rounder signed off saying.
The bond between Yuvraj and Rohit goes back to the Mumbaikaar’s early days in the Indian setup. It’s no secret that Yuvi was one of Rohit’s closest friends in the dressing room and still is.
Yuvraj, who shared the Indian dressing room with the current captain, watching him rise from a precociously talented youngster to one of the leading lights of Indian cricket and a modern-day batting great, said Rohit’s leadership skills and ability to stay calm under pressure will be the key to India’s chances of ending their prolonged drought in ICC events.
“Rohit’s presence is going to be very crucial. I think we need a really good captain, a sensible captain who takes decisions well under pressure. And he’s the one to take them. He was the captain when we lost in the (Cricket World Cup) 50-over final (in 2023). He has won five IPL trophies as a captain. I think we need somebody like him to captain India,” Yuvraj was quoted as saying in a release by the International Cricket Council (ICC).
