Kuldeep Yadav Shares Heartfelt Note On Rohit Sharma’s Test Retirement
Kuldeep Yadav recently expressed his surprise at the Test retirements of senior players Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Reflecting on his bond with Sharma, he shared that the former Indian captain supported him both on and off the field, treating him like an older brother.
“I was shocked when Rohit bhai and Virat bhai retired. I had a great understanding and bond with Rohit bhai. He used to look after me like an elder brother, even off the field.”
”When bowling, he used to tell me clearly what he expected from me and whether I was delivering it or not. If he found that I was lagging somewhere, he used to tell me to put more effort on that aspect,” Kuldeep told Indian Express in an interview.
“He would clearly tell me the role he expected from me, and sometimes he used to scold me as well — little things that always lifted me in bad times and took great care of me.”
