Star Indian batsman Sarfaraz Khan recently spoke out, praising captain Rohit Sharma for his ability to treat no member of the team like a junior, as the start of the series approaches. It is noteworthy that earlier this year, Sarfaraz Khan took the pitch for India in his debut Test match against England.
Sarfaraz Khan compared senior captain Rohit Sharma to the Bollywood film “Lagaan”
He made a comparison between Rohit Sharma and Aamir Khan, the movie’s protagonist, and how he unites the team. He extremely different, he makes you feel at ease, and we think of him as an older brother. Playing with him is fun for me. You’re never treated like a junior by him. He’s an optimistic man. Your confidence is boosted by the way he speaks,” Sarfaraz Khan said to JioCinema.
“My favourite movie is Lagaan.” That’s what it reminds me of, Rohit bhai, the way Aamir Khan puts together his squad. He reminds me of Aamir Khan from Lagaan. He said, “It feels like he’s a member of your family.”
Gautam Gambhir, the new head coach, will be taking on his maiden Test duty during the upcoming series. The fans are curious to see how India would do in the longest format under Gambhir’s guidance after the team’s most recent white-ball series against Sri Lanka.
