"Rohit bhai, why do you keep doing this with us? You scored a hundred in the 2015 World Cup [quarterfinal], you scored another one again in the 2017 Champions Trophy [semifinal], and also in the 2019 World Cup you smashed a hundred against us. Although it was because I dropped you in that game.", asked Iqbal.
He also added how fans went against him after the dropped catch cost them the game. Rohit scored a 92-ball 104 and India won by 28 runs.
"I remember how people trolled me for that. I was just praying for you to get out somehow. But when you reached 40, I gave up as I knew what was about to happen," Tamim added.
Rohit said the support both the countries get is unmatchable. "Yes, I remember that match. I know how passionate your [Bangladeshi] fans are. It is only in Bangladesh where we do not get any support. Every other place in the world we go, we usually get a lot of support. But only in Bangladesh, we just see maybe 100-200 Indian fans [at the stadium]. The support that you get in Bangladesh and also the support we get in our country is unparalleled," said Rohit.
