The India vice-captain was tongue-in-cheek when a Pakistan journalist asked him what his advice would be to the Pakistan team batsmen, which was dealing with a major crisis in the tournament.
"Agar main Pakistan ka coach bana to bilkul bataunga, abhi kya bataunga (If I become the Pakistan coach, I will definitely tell, what can I say now)," Rohit smiled.
Speaking after the game, Kohli praised both Rohit and chinaman bowler Kuldeep Yadav for their display. "Rohit's knock was outstanding today. He again showed today why he is such a good ODI player. Kuldeep was brilliant. Those guys were only trying to play him out. A longer spell helped in that situation and he was getting into rhythm. They were thinking that he would go out of the attack sooner rather than later.
"That ball to dismiss Babar (Azam) was just outstanding with the drift, the turn and just beating the batsman batting so well. This is the best he has been bowling since coming to England and, him confident with Chahal, is going to be an important factor for us in the tournament," he said.
