“Gilly, you’re completely spot on about Rohit. His tactical consciousness out within the center, simply managing the gamers, as you talked about [Mohammed] Siraj, giving him an additional over simply to provide him a lift.”

“However his greatest transfer doubtless, the transfer that gained the sport and the Pakistan coach alluded to it afterwards, is Rohit clearly stated to the DJ, simply don’t play ‘Dil, Dil, Pakistan’. When you play, Pakistan will win. Don’t play that track. Make it possible for they don’t hear that inspirational track. That was intelligent from Rohit. Most captains don’t take into consideration issues like that – DJs, music. Rohit is forward of his time.”
