Rohit Sharma is known for his laidback attitude. He appears relaxed and poised when attending press conferences. His one-liners during the pressers are viral among his fans. Those one-liners are not just confined to the off-field conversation. When he is on the field it gets intense. Some of his pep talks while on the field have caught the attention of cricket fans, where he could be seen jovially cursing his teammates.

Many of them had criticised the India opener, terming it as rude behaviour and uncivilised way of approach. The most recent incident took place during the India versus England Test series, where he cautioned the players not be too casual in the ‘garden’ (field). Speaking of the same, Kuldeep Yadav has set things clear by stating that, it is the love of the captain that transcends any notions of particular human conduct.

“We have a great connection, we move around a lot together, we share personal stuff. So our bonding has been great. And the stuff he says on the field, no one minds. We have that relationship. Jo bhi voh bolte hain, humare liye pyaar hai unka (it’s his love for us),” Kuldeep said as quoted by NDTV Sports.

Kuldeep reveals Rohit’s game-changing advice

It is widely known that the India captain has played a major role in the resurgence of Kuldeep as a spinner. The left-arm spinner was once overlooked for his lack of pace in his bowling. He even broke down on the field when Moeen Ali smashed 26 runs off his over in IPL. Kuldeep credited Sharma for his unwavering support, he also revealed Rohit’s advice at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) that changed him as a bowler.

“He was there at NCA when I was there rehabbing and then bowling. He had actually wanted me to incorporate some of the changes I was doing much earlier in fact. He would say when I stand at slip I feel the batsmen have enough time to play you off the pitch, that I need to get more energy through the action and that the batsman should not get time to play me. If he thinks he can get onto the backfoot to play me off the pitch, the ball should rush to hit the stumps or the pad. What he had thought in the past, I was now doing,” he added.
