In a lighthearted revelation, Team India’s spinner Kuldeep Yadav shared a humorous anecdote about taking over Rohit Sharma’s usual spot on the team bus. While Shubman Gill has assumed formal captaincy, Kuldeep has chosen to sit in Rohit’s old seat, primarily to spend more time with veteran all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. Kuldeep clarified that while he enjoys the camaraderie, he doesn’t aim to replace Rohit as a player or leader. He emphasized the importance of Jadeja’s guidance, especially with R. Ashwin’s absence. Jadeja’s experience is crucial, particularly as Kuldeep has limited experience bowling in English conditions. With senior players retiring, the onus is on the next generation, including Shubman Gill, to step up.
