Team India captain Rohit Sharma caused a big round of laughter in the Vidhan Bhavan’s Central Hall on Friday when he told his teammate Suryakumar Yadav, albeit in jest, that he would have ‘sat’ him had he dropped that catch.
The remark came at the Maharashtra Government-organised felicitation of the T-20 World Cup team captain Rohit, and three other players from Maharashtra—Yadav, Shivam Dube and Yashasvi Jaiswal, and bowling coach Paras Mhambrey. On the occasion, CM Eknath Shinde, announced on behalf of the state government, a cash award of Rs 11 crore for team India.
