The Indian captain Rohit Sharma is the next person Gambhir will speak with, he disclosed as the conversation came to an end. In addition, the head coach inquired if Virat had any queries for Rohit.
Gambhir: The next guest will be Rohit (Sharma). So what do you want me to ask (to Rohit)? What should be the first question to him?
Kohli: I think its a very simple question for Rohit ki subah bheege huye badaam khaate ho ya nahi (If he eats soaked almonds every morning, laughs)
Gambhir: Subah gyaarah baje ki jagah raat ke gyarah baje? (Morning 11, or evening?)
Kohli: Haa dekhna, kahi AM ka PM na ho jaaye (Yes please check if its 11 am or pm, both laugh). So this would be the question for you, Rohit.
