NEW DELHI: Rohit Sharma may have retired from Test cricket, but his off-field wit continues to bowl fans over. In a recent lighthearted interview with journalist Vimal Kumar, a clip of Rohit jokingly saying, “Players ke sath gandi baatein karni chahiye,” has taken social media by storm.
The moment began with Rohit casually dropping the remark, which immediately raised eyebrows, only for him to clarify with a laugh, “hona chahiye ki woh kyu nahi khel raha hai,” referring to tough and honest conversations about team selections.

Fans on X (formerly Twitter) flooded timelines with the clip, celebrating Rohit’s trademark candidness and cheeky humour. The moment offered a rare look at the lighter side of a cricketer often under intense public scrutiny.
This viral moment comes on the heels of a major announcement: Rohit Sharma has officially retired from Test cricket. The 38-year-old posted an emotional message on Instagram, ending a 67-match red-ball career that saw him score over 4,300 runs with 12 centuries last Wednesday.
Despite a dip in recent Test form, Rohit’s legacy as a late-blooming, dependable opener is secure.
While he steps away from the whites, Rohit remains committed to ODIs and continues to influence Indian cricket with both bat and mind. From leading India to the 2024 T20 World Cup title to giving fans viral moments like these, Rohit Sharma’s presence in Indian cricket remains both impactful and entertaining.
