NEW DELHI: India’s Test and ODI captain Rohit Sharma, is known for his tendency to forget things—a quirky trait that has been humorously pointed out by several teammates, including Virat Kohli. Virat, who often jokes about Rohit’s forgetfulness, once highlighted the Indian skipper’s habit of misplacing items.
In a video chat shared by the BCCI on social media, Virat Virat and Gautam Gambhir had a lighthearted exchange ahead of the first Test against Bangladesh.
Gambhir asked Virat, “So Virat, the next guest is Rohit. What do you want me to ask? What should be the first question?”

Virat humorously suggested, “I think it is a very simple question to Rohit. Ke subah bheege badam khate ho ki nahi (Do you eat soaked almonds in the morning?).”

This prompted laughter , and Gambhir added, “That will help Rohit remember to come in at 11 am, not at night.”
He continued, “Ke subah 11 bhaje ke jagah, raat ko 11 bhaje na aa jaye (So that he comes in at 11 am and not 11 pm).”
“So, Rohit, that’s the first question for you,” Virat quipped.

India are gearing up for the first Test against Bangladesh in Chennai on Thursday.
Under Rohit’s leadership, India won the T20 World Cup by defeating South Africa in a thrilling final last month this year.
