‘Wanted to keep something from the pitch’: Rohit Sharma
Team India met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi after landing in Delhi on Thursday. During the conversation, PM Modi asked Rohit about the soil eating act in Barbados’ pitch to which he answered that his team won after playing on that pitch so he wanted to keep a moment of that to remember for my life.
“The place, the playing surface where we got our victory—I just wanted to keep something from that. I wanted to keep a moment of that to remember for my life, and hence I tasted it. We won after playing on that pitch, and everyone waited for that moment for so long. Everyone put in so much effort for that. Numerous times in the past, we came very close to achieving that but fell short, and finally, we achieved it through the team’s effort” Rohit said.
