The legendary player for India and the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), Virat Kohli, has discussed his relationship with Rohit Sharma. Kohli disclosed the nature of his relationship with his Indian teammate, with whom he has had great success.
Both Rohit and Kohli are two of the best players in history, having achieved success in both franchise and international cricket. On April 7, the Mumbai Indians will play the RCB at the storied Wankhede Stadium.
The 36-year-old also discussed his thoughts, questions, and relationship with Rohit over the years in a video released by the RCB team.
In a video posted on X (formerly known as Twitter), Kohli stated, “I think it’s a very natural thing to take place when you play with someone for so long and you share so much of your insight of the game initially, you’re learning from each other, you’re kind of growing in your careers at the same time, and you share all kind of queries and questions.”
In addition, the former captain of India stated, “There is a trust factor and do the job for the team.” “There is a lot of back and forth that occurs, and you know, we worked very closely in terms of the leadership for the team, so there were always ideas discussed and more or less we would end up on the same page in terms of the gut feel of that situation.”

The possibility that we will play for India for 15 years was uncertain: Virat Kohli
Additionally, Kohli stated that he never imagined they would play cricket for 15 years on the international stage. He thanked his teammate for providing him with a wealth of memories.
“We have undoubtedly enjoyed our time playing together, which has allowed us to have a lengthy career because, as I mentioned earlier, it was not clear that we would play for India for 15 years when we were younger. The trip has been so long and continuous, and I am incredibly thankful and thrilled for all of the memories and moments we have experienced and will continue to share,” he said.
