‘We were talking about theme parks’ – Rohit responds to Ashwin exclusion question with humourous explanation

Watch: Rohit Sharma, known for his gift of repartee during press conferences, came up with yet another hilarious remark when asked about R Ashwin after their T20 World Cup clash against Afghanistan on Wednesday.

Following his match-winning knock of 74 in 47 balls, Rohit, India’s representative in the post-match PC was asked about the conversations he had with R Ashwin during his non-selection throughout the series against England. The off-spinner did not play a single Test match in the UK and turned out in coloured clothing for India for the first time since 2017 when he took the field against Afghanistan. Ashwin was the star with the ball, returning with 2-14 in his four overs against the Asia side.

Rohit replied to the journalist’s questions by saying that the duo never discussed cricket during their stay in England, but rather spoke about ‘theme parks’.

“The conversation between me and Ashwin throughout the UK tour was that where we should take our kids. Which park do we take them to? We didn’t have any conversation about cricket, to be honest. He has got two beautiful daughters, I have got a daughter as well; so, we’re only discussing that which theme park we should be going to during our off time.”
