What did Rohit Sharma say?

Rohit Sharma said during a conversation with reporters, “When I was playing as a player, Virat was captaining. One thing I noticed is that even if we don’t get wickets, we should keep the pressure on the field so that the opposition can make mistakes. This is something that I came to know when Virat was captaining. Now that’s what I’m trying to do is keep that kind of pressure on. Don’t expect a wicket every ball. Just put the ball in the right direction.
