Rohit was supposed to do a presentation where he was supposed to give the ICC ODI Team of the Year cap to Kuldeep and that is where the banter happened.

New York: The Indian cricket team is in New York preparing for the much-anticipated T20 World Cup. The team seems to be bonding well in NY and that is good news for the fans who want to see India break the ICC title drought. Rohit Sharma, who is leading the side is an endearing character, and is loved and well-respected by his teammates. Rohit was supposed to do a presentation where he was supposed to give the ICC ODI Team of the Year cap to Kuldeep and that is where the banter happened.

Presenting the cap to the spinner, Rohit began, “It’s my great pleasure to present this wonderful cap to a wonderful athlete and who has been a real asset for Team India, ICC ODI Team of the Year, Kuldeep.”

“Thank you, Rohit bhai,” a down-to-earth Kuldeep responded.

On seeing Kuldeep’s shy demeanor, Rohit asked, “You want to say something?”

“No, no, all good,” the Chinaman replied.

“You should say something,” the attacking opener further pressed Kuldeep for a proper response.

Feeling his captain’s pressure, Kuldeep said, “I mean, nothing much to say. I mean I had a great season last year, both with the bat and ball. ”

Acting shocked by Kuldeep’s admission, Rohit asked, “Bat?”

A shaken Kuldeep replied, “Yeah.”

Rohit asked again, “When?”

Visibly confused, Kuldeep stuttered, “I mean, uh. I mean, uh.”

Rohit hilariously interjected, “I mean uh, when?”

“Test series,” the DC star sheepishly said.

“This is ODI,” Rohit stated.

Trying to explain himself, Kuldeep said, “But I performed with the bat as well, so last year I was really good with the ball during the World Cup as well.”

“I am captain of this team. I have never seen him bat. So, I don’t know what is he talking about,” Rohit replied.
