So, who would be the most dangerous player in the Indian cricket team? Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma shared an amusing story from his debut for the national team, revealing that Yuvraj Singh ‘loved to intimidate people’.
During his appearance on Netflix’s ‘The Great Indian Kapil Show’, host Kapil Sharma questioned Rohit about his early experiences with the Indian cricket team and which older player scared him the most when he first joined the team.
Rohit instantly said that it was Yuvraj Singh and that the great all-rounder wanted to “make a point”. Yeah, you read that correctly! It was Yuvraj Sing!
“Not just me. Every new player who came into the team. He thought he was the senior player. I do not even know if he was that senior but he had to make a point. Whenever a new player joined the team,” he said.
Rohit’s Humorous Encounter with Yuvraj
Rohit talked about an incident involving Yuvraj Singh during his early career. Rohit sat on Yuvraj’s seat on the team bus, which caused a funny exchange between the two players.
“When I first came into the side, I got up in the team bus and unfortunately sat down at his seat. That became a problem. I did not know players had their preferred seats.
So, Yuvi pa being Yuvi pa just made eye contact with me and gestured for me to move. RP Singh was sitting behind me and he explained that it was Yuvraj’s seat. I thought I missed the name written on the seat,” Rohit recalled the story with a smile.
“He liked to scare people. He liked scarring us,” he added leaving the audience in splits.
