In the latest video posted by ICC on social media, Rohit talked about his batting, jersey number, and the experience he has gained over the years. The 34-year-old said he bats as per the requirement of the team.
"You always have to put the team ahead of yourself," Rohit said in the video. The India opener also added how the top three batters have the best opportunity to score, and he tries to do it for his team.
"When you start the innings for your team, you have the best opportunity to play the maximum balls, to get as many runs as possible. Which is why if you see the number of hundreds that have been scored around the world in T20s has to be by the top three batters. So, yeah my job remains the same," he said.
Rohit also revealed that his jersey number 45 was picked by his mother. "Why I am 45? It's just my mother likes the number. A lot of numbers were taken so I asked my mother, what number I should take? So, she said 45 will be a good number for you," he said.
