Rohit was heard saying, “Puuchuge tab bolunga na? Koi puch hi nahi raha hai. Sahi saawal toh koi puch hi nahi raha hai. Yeh sab sahi saawal hai. Yeh saawal jo abhi aap puch rahe ho, crowd aa raha hain ya nahi, pitch kaisa hai, kya combination khelne wale ho… yeh toh koi puch hi nahi raha (First ask me, only then will I answer, no? No one is asking the right questions related to the match, the question you asked is the one related. No one is asking what are the views on crowd returning, how’s the pitch, what will be the team combination. No one is asking these questions.”
