What did Rohit Sharma say?
“It just hurts (arm). Now let’s see how it feels by tomorrow”, Rohit said about the injury after the match. Rohit also commented on the pitch and the match. It was uncertain whether the pitch would help or not. This pitch is only 5 months old. So I don’t know how to play on this pitch. I don’t think the pitch was stable when we batted in the second innings. There was nothing special for the bowlers. Rohit said about the pitch, this pitch made me think.
