XtraTime Web Desk: Indian cricket team star opener Rohit Sharma feels that their neighbouring country Bangladesh is the only place where the Indian cricket team doesn’t get any support at all.
Rohit was doing a Facebook live chat with Bangladesh opening batsman Tamim Iqbal and it was then that the former complimented Bangladesh on transforming themselves as a cricketing giant.
“India and Bangladesh have passionate cricket fans, when we make mistakes, we are criticised from all corners, I know it is similar in Bangladesh, I know how passionate fans can get in Bangladesh, when we come to the ground to play the match, it is unbelievable, India is not used to playing without any sort of crowd support, Bangladesh is the only place where we do not get any support,” Rohit told Tamim.
“We get support wherever we go, Bangladesh is the only place where we do not get any support, I know Bangladesh fans really get behind you, this is a totally different Bangladesh side now, you have a sense of eagerness in your team now, everybody says that, we have seen with your performances during the 2019 World Cup as well,” he added.
Rohit enjoys a stellar run against Bangladesh in the ICC tournaments.
Iqbal shared an incident of World Cup 2019 when he was trolled by the fans for dropping a catch of Rohit during a round-robin match at Edgbaston.
“I remember how people trolled me for that. I was just praying for you to get out somehow. But when you reached 40, I gave up as I knew what was about to happen,” Iqbal said.
The newly-appointed ODI skipper had then dropped the opener when he was on nine and Rohit went on to smash a century and played a knock of 104 runs and guided the side to post 314 runs.
