Akhtar was questioned about Rohit during a Q&A with fans on Twitter.
Former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar had a question and answer session with his fans on Sunday. He asked his followers on Twitter to post questions which they would like him to answer.
A fan questioned about India's vice-captain Rohit Sharma and asked Akhtar to describe him in one word. The 45-year-old, who is famous for his outspoken nature, didn't drop a usual response.
Akhtar said he would get back to the fan once there's a word for Rohit in the market. "Jasay he word market main aata hai toh batata hoon", he replied.
Rohit will be seen in action during the upcoming last two Tests against Australia. He joined the team after completing a 14-day quarantine in Sydney. He had to again go in isolation along with his other four teammates, Navdeep Saini, Prithvi Shaw, Shubman Gill, and Rishabh Pant for an outing in Melbourne.
The team has taken safety measures but they have confirmed there is nothing much to worry about. Rohit is set to play the last two Test matches.
