The Indian cricket team players got to interact and understand each other better after spending a lot of time in the bio-bubbles and quarantine during England’s tour of India.
There were constant rumors about Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma not getting along very well due to some personal and professional differences. But some media reports had claimed that both star batsmen – helped by team management and coach Ravi Shastri – got together to “talk it out” during India's tour of England. Both of them, as learned, decided to start on a fresh note.
The extra time on-hand due to the pandemic possibly helped Virat and Rohit and glimpses of their developed friendship was seen during India vs England Lord's Test.
Fans also got to see Kohli and Rohit Sharma's on-field bromance at one point in the game as the duo hugged each other after when captain Kohli got the DRS review right to send in-form Jonny Bairstow back to the pavilion for cheap during the pulsating Lord's Test.
Virat and Rohit were also seen having fun moments in the balcony of Lord's and in the dressing room as well.
Rohit and Virat are the backbone of India's batting line-up. Rohit has already become an integral part of national squad in limited overs as well as the vice-captain, but his place in the Test team has been cemented recently. Rohit has been very successful as an opener in Tests.
A five-match Test series is being played between India and England. India has taken a 1-0 lead after win over the hosts in Lord's Test. India vs England 3rd Test of Ind vs Eng 5-match Test series will be played in Leeds from August 25.
