The new coaching staff has a different style, but there is no problem. Good understanding is important, and I have that with Gambhir."

The media also asked about KL Rahul’s place in the playing XI. Rohit Sharma said, “There are a handful of people in world cricket who had a smooth ride. A handful of cricketers had no issues all their life, it was all good. Everyone has an up-and-down career.”

Rohit Sharma also added, “Best thing to do is to understand yourself, expectations from yourself, and what’s needed for the team. The kind of quality KL Rahul has, everybody knows. The message to him from our side was we want him to play all the game and bring the best out of him."
