‘Daddy’ Rohit Sharma Ready To Play Perfect Deputy To Virat Kohli

Mumbai: India’s ODI deputy Rohit Sharma is a daddy now and with fatherhood comes a lot of responsibility. But the batsman is happy in the zone that he is in and in fact, he goes on to reveal that he is looking to help skipper Virat Kohli in whatever ways he can as Team India look to end the 2019 edition of the World Cup as champions.

“(Laughs) Tell me about it. You don’t get to sleep at all. So, you see life keeps changing for the better. I’m not sleeping the way I used to, but I’m happy about it.

“He’s (Kohli) got a great squad. And he’s done a great job as captain in the last couple of years. I will be there to play my part whenever he needs my help. I’m happy to play a part in that space. Whatever matters for the team is priority no. 1. I’ll be happy to do whatever is asked of me,” Rohit Sharma told.

Asked if playing the role of confidante comes naturally to him, the opener said: “I’ve always been a listener. The kind of person I am, I wouldn’t have evolved one bit if that wasn’t the case. There’s no harm in listening to people — even if the person you’re listening to has just about started playing the game. Let’s get one thing straight here: You can never say you’re the wisest because, that’ll never be the case. I love opinions. In the end, it’s up to you to decide what you want to make of those opinions.” IANS
