Veteran Indian bowler Amit Mishra has shed light on his contrasting relationships with two of India’s cricketing icons, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Despite both players debuting within a year of each other and forming the backbone of the Indian batting lineup over the past decade and a half, Mishra notes significant differences in his connections with them.
In a recent interview, Mishra reflected on his bond with Rohit Sharma, describing it as jovial and friendly, dating back to Rohit’s early cricketing days. Their rapport has flourished over the years, showcasing a deep mutual respect and camaraderie. On the other hand, Mishra admitted that his relationship with Kohli is not as close. He cited Kohli’s evolving nature, which has led to a dwindling circle of friends within the Indian team.
Despite their shared journey, including a historic T20 World Cup victory and retiring from T20Is on the same day, Mishra emphasized the distinct dynamics he shares with the two superstars. While both Kohli and Rohit enjoy immense fan support and batting prowess, Mishra’s experiences reveal the nuances behind the scenes that define their interactions.
As Indian cricket continues to thrive, Amit Mishra’s insights serve as a reminder of the personal stories that often remain overshadowed by the glitz and glamour of the sport.
