“Ab kya boloon main usme?” – Rohit Sharma’s funny response on Sachin Tendulkar’s statue question: WATCH

India skipper Rohit Sharma got candid about Sachin Tendulkar’s statue in the pre-game press conference ahead of the ODI WC game against Sri Lanka. Apparently, the 2011 World Cup winner’s statue has been released on November 1. He played the last ODI game between the two teams in Mumbai, i.e in the final 12 years back.

Talking about the unveiling ceremony Tendulkar was accompanied by his wife Anjali and daughter Sara. The dignitaries present on the occasion were former Indian Cricket Board and Apec Council chief Sharad Pawar, incumbent BCCI secretary Jay Shah, treasurer Ashish Shelar, vice-president Rajiv Shukla, and Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) president Amol Kale among others.

Practice pe jab pahunche to pta chale: Rohit Sharma

Meanwhile, after being being asked about the same, Sharma had a candid conversation with the media as explained below.

“Practice pe jab pahuche toh humne dekhna statue par itne closely dekhne nahi mila kyun ki hum practice kar rhe the aur press conference itna delay karwa diya humare media manager ne (laughs). Toh itna pass se dekhne ko nahi mila. We came back, I finished my batting and I came here now. Par mauka milega acche se dekhne ka.(Yes, we saw it when we came to practice, but couldn’t see from close by. Our practice was also delayed by the media manager (laughs). But yeah, we will get to see it closely later.),” said Rohit during the pre-match press conference.

“Mujhe toh abhi yeh bhi nahi pata ki kaun sa shot hai vo. Ab kya boloon main usme? Straight lofted shot ka statue banaya hai wahan pe.(What more can I say, they have made a statue of straight lofted shot. It’s nice, I hope you guys enjoyed it, we saw the statue, it’s fantastic.),” he added.
