“I think Rohit Sharma should play for the good of Indian cricket for the next 10 years and this is my personal feeling. In 2019, when we were playing a series against Bangladesh in Rajkot, I did not have a great day once and got only one wicket, so he came to me and talked to me personally in the dressing room.”
“The team was leaving the stadium and he was back with me to one and told me how I should be. He told me that I am unaware of my own abilities. When we were going out of the stadium, all the fans were shouting for Rohit Bhai and they told me that all this should be for you too.
I have seen him doing the same thing with Rishabh Pant – Khalel Ahmed
The left -handed pace further said that Rohit always gives time to the youth, including Rishabh Pant, to ensure that they are not feeling less in bad days.
Praising Rohit, once a generation captain, Khalil said that he has hardly seen any person and a captain. He explained in detail:
“A captain like him, talking to me in this way after the match, I wondered how kind he was. I have seen him doing the same thing with Rishabh (Pant).” Is there a man! What a captain! ” I would say
“Recently I met him in the NCA (Excellence of Excellence) during the Dalip Trophy and he looked very fit, so I asked him to live and play like this. I have rarely seen such a captain and person in my life, he is a gem and I have great respect and love for him. It is not possible to express everything in this little interview.”
Khalil Ahmed vs Rohit Sharma in T20
Left-handed pacer Khalel and Mumbai Indians (MI) veteran Rohit Sharma have come against each other in the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2019, 2021, 2022, 2024 and 2025.
Khalil has been very successful against Rohit as he has given just 42 runs in 49 balls and has rejected the batsman 3 times while bowling 33 dots.
Meanwhile, Khalil talked about starting his India under the leadership of Rohit Sharma. In particular, Pesar received his India cap in the Asia Cup match against Hong Kong at Dubai International Stadium on September 18, 2018.
He said, “He (Rohit) gave me a lot of confidence, despite me being junior, he made me aware of the fact that I have something special. Such a successful cricketer took time to talk and inspire me, promoted my confidence,” he said.
