India captain Rohit Sharma humorously singled out two teammates he would never share a room with, stating that he always opts for a single room and avoids sharing with Shikhar Dhawan or Rishabh Pant due to their messy habits.
Rohit made these remarks during an interview with comedian Kapil Sharma on Netflix’s The Great Indian Kapil Show. The 35-year-old, currently playing for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2024, added that staying with them would be problematic, and even India’s middle-order batter Shreyas Iyer was present on the show.
“Everyone gets a single room nowadays. But if I get a chance to share a single room, there are two people with whom I wouldn’t want to share rooms with,” said Rohit.
“Everyone gets a single room nowadays. But if I get a chance to share a single room, there are two people with whom I wouldn’t want to share rooms with – Shikhar Dhawan and Rishabh Pant. Bade gande hai (They are very messy). After practice, they just toss their clothes on the bed,” said Rohit.
“Their room is always on DND because they sleep till 1PM. The housekeeping staff that comes in the morning to clean their rooms, so it’s important for them to put their rooms on DND. Otherwise, they will barge in. That’s why their rooms often stay messy for three to four days. It becomes a problem for the people staying around them. So, I don’t think I will be able to stay with them,” he added.
Rohit Sharma discusses India’s defeat in the ODI World Cup
Under Rohit Sharma’s captaincy, India had a successful 2023 ODI World Cup, triumphing in all league and knockout matches. However, Australia defeated them in the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Reflecting on this significant loss, Rohit mentioned his expectation of fans being upset but was surprised by the overwhelming support the team received.
“I was thinking that the World Cup took place in our country but still we couldn’t win. I felt the nation might be angry with us. But I only heard people praising how well we played, and how they enjoyed watching that cricket,” the India captain added.
