Rohit remarked in an interview with PTI, “He has a lot of promise. I’ve known him for two years, and the most crucial thing is that he is hungry. For his age, I can sense that he is extremely mature in him. He is a master at batting. When I speak with him, I learn that the young man is aware of his hitting technique, including where to hit and what to do during the appropriate time.”
He further adds, “That is all I will say about him. I am unaware of the World Cup and other details, but I do know that the man is talented, as evidenced by the few games in which he has represented India.”
