“Dimaag laga rahe ho aap (You are using you brain)…let’s concentrate on Cape Town now,” Rohit Sharma commented when questioned about the upcoming series against Afghanistan at home.
Following India’s victory over South Africa in Cape Town on January 4, captain Rohit Sharma showcased his playful side in the post-match press conference. Despite a challenging loss in the first Test in Centurion, India bounced back with an improved performance, securing a seven-wicket win in the second Test.
Meanwhile, when a reporter inquired about his T20I career and the upcoming series against Afghanistan, Rohit Sharma responded playfully with, “Dimaag laga rahe ho aap (You are using your brain)…let’s concentrate on Cape Town now.”
India is set to face Afghanistan in three T20Is on January 11, 14, and 17. Fans eagerly anticipate the inclusion of senior players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in the squad for these matches.
This victory would rank among our finest Test match wins: Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma labeled the Cape Town win as “one of the best,” placing it on par with other historic Test victories for India. He expressed that comparing it to the renowned Gabba triumph is challenging, emphasizing the unique significance of each Test victory.
“It will be one of our best Test match victories. Having never won here, it’s right up there with all the victories we have had,” Rohit said. “It’s hard to compare Tests which you win elsewhere. Hard to rank these Tests.”
“Every Test match has its own relevance and importance. The game in Gabba. The last time Australia lost there was 1988, I think.”
“It became their fortress and the way we won that Test was important, you can’t really rank the Tests. It’s right up there though. That shows how important a venue it is to come here and win. Credit to the team.”
