Indian cricket team’s new Test captain Rohit Sharma addressed a virtual press conference ahead of the opening match of the ICC World Test Championship series against the Sri Lankan cricket team. The Indian cricket team is all set to play the first match of the ICC World Test Championship series against the Sri Lankan side at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium from tomorrow onwards.
It is going to be Virat Kohli’s 100th Test match, and the officials have allowed 50% capacity crowd for the five-day match. Sharma spoke to the reporters virtually from Mohali, where he was asked by one of the journalists about the pitch and the ground.
Rohit Sharma seemed to be in a light mood as he told that journalist that he was the asking who is the right questions. All others were not asking the proper questions. Here’s the video and the quotes as per saying by CricTracker:
“Sahi sawaal to koi puch hi nahi raha hai. Ye sahi sawaal hai jo abhi aap puch rahe ho. Crowd aa raha hai ki nahi, pitch kaisa hai, kya team combination hai. (Rough translation – Nobody is asking correct questions. This question is correct which you are asking. Questions related to crowd, pitch, team combination)”

Rohit Sharma will lead the Indian cricket team for the first time in Test cricket from tomorrow
Sharma was appointed as the new captain of the Indian Test cricket team ahead of the ICC World Test Championship series against the Sri Lankan cricket team. Virat Kohli was the captain previously, but he stepped down as the skipper after the away series against the South African cricket team earlier this year.
It will be interesting to see how the Indian team performs under the captaincy of Sharma tomorrow. The match is scheduled to begin at 9:30 AM IST.
