India's vice-captain Rohit Sharma joined Bangladesh ODI skipper Tamim Iqbal for a live chat on Facebook. During the conversation, Rohit pointed out Bangladesh is the only venue where India gets zero support. He also added the fans are very passionate about the home team.

Tamim recalled the big innings of Rohit which caused damage in big games of ICC tournaments. The India opener has a good record against Bangladesh and he always proves himself against them in the games which matter.

"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.
