In the press conference after India’s stunning 10-wicket win in the Asia Cup final against Sri Lanka, Rohit expressed his respect for Ashwin and Washington Sundar for the role of spin-bowling all-rounder.
“With spin-bowling all-rounders, I think everyone is in line,” he said. To be honest, (I am) talking to Ashwin also, I am talking to him on the phone.
That’s why he is in line. That’s why there is Vashi. We want people who can perform well with the ball and bat as well.”
