Rohit Sharma lauds Virat Kohli's dedication to fitness and the game, acknowledging his pivotal role in bringing a fitness revolution in Team India.
Kohli's good physical form is highlighted by his never having been to the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru for rehabilitation.
Speaking with Dinesh Karthik on JioCinema, Rohit Sharma said, “All the younger players should look up to the passion that he (Virat) has.”
Rohit emphasizes Kohli's selfless attitude. “He (Virat) can say that I will take it easy in these 2-3 series, I will come later, but he is always there for the team,” said Rohit.
Rohit underscores the intrinsic quality of hunger and the absence of complacency in Kohli's approach, which cannot be taught but learned through observation.
He emphasizes the importance of staying passionate and prideful while representing the team, traits exemplified by Virat Kohli.
Rohit encourages aspiring players to prioritize these qualities over technical skills, considering them fundamental for success in cricket.
The conversation sheds light on Kohli's enduring legacy and the invaluable lessons younger players can learn from his exemplary career.
Rohit concludes by saying, “Being out there in the sun, playing for the team and getting the job done…is what I want the guys to have first.”
