Sanju Samson further said, ‘During the warm-up, Rohit took me to the corner and started telling me why he had taken this decision. He said to me, did you understand? He spoke in his own way and I said let’s win the match first and then talk.

After 1 minute Rohit came again and said you must be abusing me in your mind. I think you are not happy and you have a lot going on in your mind. I told him that as a player I also have to participate in this match. He explained it to me and we defeated South Africa in the final.
