Rohit Sharma, India’s ODI aur Test captain, ne finally bata hi diya ki unka iconic dialogue “Koi garden mein nahi ghoomega” ka asli raaz kya tha! Yeh line stump mic mein capture hui thi during the second Test match against England at Visakhapatnam in February 2024, aur tabse yeh internet pe chha gayi thi.
Ab ek saal baad, Rohit ne JioHotstar par apni kahani share ki, jismein unhone bataya ki yeh line ek spur-of-the-moment reaction thi, kyunki fielding ke dauraan players mein urgency hi nahi dikh rahi thi.
“It was in Vizag, I saw the over ended and the players were leisurely walking as if they were in a garden. No one was running, there was no urgency in the field. I was fielding in the slip, we had spinners bowling from both ends. The game was hanging by a loose thread, it was an important game, we had to win. I had told the players in the morning that we need to put in some extra effort but they were having fun in the ground,”
Rohit ne kaha ki woh moment game ke liye kaafi crucial tha, aur team ko urgently ek wicket ki zarurat thi. Unhone dekha ki players bas chill mode mein ghoom rahe the, aur yahi baat unhe irritate kar gayi.
“So I saw it for two-three overs and then said things can’t go on like this, you can’t play cricket like this. Everyone was just going with the flow which annoyed me and then I told everyone not to be like that. A partnership was going on, I was desperate to get a wicket. In such moments everyone needs to put in a collective effort. At that moment, I saw everyone being busy with themselves which I didn’t like,”
Is zabardast moment ke baad India ne match 106 runs se jeeta aur 5-match series ko 1-1 se equal kar diya. Rohit ka yeh moment na sirf fans ke liye iconic ban gaya, balki ek reminder bhi tha ki intent game mein kitna important hota hai.
Filhal, Rohit Sharma Mumbai Indians (MI) ke liye IPL 2025 mein khel rahe hain. Pehle 6 matches mein unhone 82 runs banaye hain, lekin form thoda lean chal raha hai. Fans ko umeed hai ki unka bat jaldi hi bol uthega!
