Indian skipper Rohit Sharma has developed a reputation for having a fantastic sense of humor over the years. He frequently displays his comedic side both on and off the field.
The skipper recently turned to Instagram to praise the young players who performed well for the hosts during the just finished third Test against England in Rajkot.
Rohit Sharma updated the article with photographs of Dhruv Jurel running out Ben Duckett, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Sarfaraz Khan celebrating the southpaw’s double century.
Rohit made a lighthearted remark on the younger generation, writing:
“Ye Aajkal ke bacche (kids these days I tell you)!”

Rohit Sharma on India’s fightback
The hosts were under enormous strain as England concluded Day 2 on 207/2 in just 35 overs, relying on their ‘Bazball’ style. In a critical scenario, Rohit Sharma stated that the message to the squad was to be cool and stay in the game.
Rohit believed India acted with patience, then quickly utilized the chance to advance in the game. This was his statement in the post-match discussion:
“They played well, to be honest, and played some really good shots. They put us under pressure a little bit there, but look we’ve got class in our squad, when it comes to bowling. Obviously, the message was to stay calm because when things like that happen, it’s actually easy to drift away from what you want to do as a team. But I’m really proud of how we came back the next day, stuck to what we discussed, and when those things happen, it’s a delight to watch.”

Even with injuries and missing players, India successfully achieved a thrilling victory. This could potentially give them an extra drive for the fourth Test in Ranchi, starting on Friday, February 23.
