'Ye AajKal Ke Bacche': Rohit Sharma's Tribute To Team India Trio Goes Viral
India 's captain, Rohit Sharma , witnessed a changing of the guard in the whites as Yashasvi Jaiswal , Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel showcased their talents with the bat and in the field, contributing significantly to the team's commanding 434-run victory over England in the third Test.
Following India's emphatic win over Ben Stokes ' side, Rohit took to social media to commend the trio of Jaiswal, Sarfaraz and Jurel. "Ye aajkal ke bacche (these kids of the current generation)," Rohit captioned his Instagram story featuring images of the three Team India players.
In the match, India set a daunting target of 557 runs for England on a benign pitch, with over four sessions remaining. However, the visitors capitulated within 40 overs, managing just 122 runs, thus giving India a 2-1 lead in the series.
“We have won a lot of matches on such wickets before. The turning tracks and on pitches where the ball turns remain our strength. It gives us balance,” Rohit told the media after the game.
“We have given results for many years and we will get results in the future as well. But we don't have control over certain things — we don't discuss whether we want rank turners or not. We come here (at the venues) two days before the match and how much can we do anyway in two days? “The curators decide and make the pitch. We have the strength to play on any wicket and win on it. When we won the Test in South Africa (at Cape Town), everyone knows what kind of wicket it was,” he explained.
Rohit emphasized that the Indian team has navigated through various conditions encountered in the first three Tests.
“In the last three Tests we played, there were different challenges. In the first Test (Hyderabad), the ball was spinning and the pitch was slow. In Vizag, it was (keeping) low. As the game progressed, the wicket became slower. Here, it played well for the first three days.
“Today, we saw that the ball was turning and it was low. This is (in) the nature (of pitches), we get pitches like these in India. But if we get rank turners, we will play on them as well,” Rohit added.
The Indian skipper noted that Sarfaraz Khan's extensive experience in domestic cricket alleviated any need for detailed discussions before his debut.
“I haven't seen Sarfaraz bat that much. But all the people I've heard from, the players who are from Mumbai, (that) he's made runs in a lot of difficult situations for Mumbai,” Rohit said.
“He's hungry for runs and for the last 4-5 years, he's continuously made runs in domestic cricket, so (that means) he's doing something good,” Rohit said.
“We didn't discuss any plans with him. Because I know that if you let him be, he'll do his your job, which I've heard from the players from Mumbai,” he concluded.
