Rohit Sharma did a presser ahead of the India vs Sri Lanka ODI World Cup game. Towards the end of the press conference, the Indian captain was asked if he saw the statue of Sachin Tendulkar that was unveiled at the Wankhede Stadium on November 1st.
Answering the question Rohit in his usual style said, “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. I haven’t yet see what shot is that.”
He continued, “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.”
