With India playing the first Test match in Mohali in less than 24 hours, all eyes are on Virat Kohli as the modern-day legend is all set to play his hundredth Test match. Naturally, the press conference saw questions that focused entirely on Kohli’s particular milestone. It got so boring that India’s new Test captain Rohit Sharma had to bring out his witty nature, asking the media manager to ask reporters ‘good questions’.
“Sahi sawaal to koi puch hi nahi raha hai. Ye sahi sawaal hai jo abhi aap puch rahe ho. Crowd aa raha hai ki nahi, pitch kaisa hai, kya team combination hai. Ye to koi puch hi nahi raha hai, mere liye accha hai,” Rohit hilariously said. (It roughly translates to – Nobody is asking correct questions. This question is correct which you are asking. Questions related to crowd, pitch, team combination nobody is asking. It is good for me actually.)

Credit for India’s Test success goes to Kohli: Rohit
India skipper Rohit Sharma on Thursday lauded former skipper and main batsman Virat Kohli ahead of the 100th Test, saying he deserves all the credit for putting the team in good shape across the format. Rohit will begin his Test captaincy journey to lead India in the first match against Sri Lanka here on Friday.
“We are in a good position as a Test team. All credit goes to Virat for how we have been as a Test team. I have to pick it up from where he left off.” India are the number one team in the longest format.
“Filling the big shoes of Rahane and Pujara is never easy. You can’t put it into words what he has done for the team “All those overseas wins, we became No. 1, he played a big role. That’s it for now, we haven’t considered them,” Rohit said.
