When we were playing, either (Virat) Kohli or (Shikhar) Dhawan would get to play. In fact, there was no place for Veeru (Virender Sehwag) to open. Veeru batted at number four so that we could play one of Shikhar and Virat at number three,” the former cricketer said on the Figuring Out podcast hosted by Raj Shamani. We were competitors in the beginning. To be honest, he was not a friend. But he was a very passionate, very hardworking and very serious person about his skills. He scored a lot of runs. He always followed his heart. He was very emotional and very short tempered. Chopra continued, “He is a good-hearted person. Comes from a very affluent family. For a kid like that to have that kind of passion…he would be on the field all day. He was born with a golden spoon, not even a silver one. It is a different journey, like Abhinav Bindra. Gautam has a very clean heart.” Let us tell you that Gautam Gambhir won his first series as the Indian head coach, which was the T20 series against Sri Lanka.

Where he had scored a lot of runs. Apart from this, I did not know him much at that time. Then we were roommates in Bangalore for a month. Dhoni was carefree. While playing for India, he played a reverse sweepshot against a Pakistani bowler named Iftikhar Anjum which was beyond my imagination. Because I had never seen Dhoni hit such a shot in the nets. Dhoni did not bat much in the nets. He used to bowl to other batsmen in the nets except Dinesh Karthik. Akash further said, ‘Dhoni’s phone used to ring a lot. But he never picked up the phone. ‘Once I asked Dhoni what time he sleeps. He said that you can sleep whenever you feel like it. Dhoni was a non-vegetarian and I was a vegetarian.

I think Rohit Sharma’s journey with Mumbai Indians is over now: Aakash Chopra
Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, Mumbai Indians have won the trophy of this great tournament five times. Aakash Chopra Rohit Sharma (Photo Source: Twitter) Former player Aakash Chopra believes that the Mumbai Indians team will not retain Rohit Sharma in the Indian Premier League 2025 auction. According to him, Rohit Sharma himself would like that the franchise does not retain him and releases him. Let us tell you that under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, Mumbai Indians have won the trophy of this great tournament five times. Not only this, he has also played an important role in the victory of Mumbai Indians with his batting. In the IPL 2024 auction, Mumbai Indians traded Hardik Pandya from Gujarat Titans and appointed him as the captain of their team. Mumbai Indians’ performance in IPL 2024 under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya was disappointing. Aakash Chopra shared a video on his official YouTube channel and said about Rohit Sharma’s future with Mumbai Indians, ‘Will Rohit stay or leave? This is a big question. My personal opinion is that Rohit Sharma will not stay. Any team that retains a player will want the player to stay with them for 3 years, yes if your name is not MS Dhoni. The story of Chennai Super Kings and Dhoni is very different but Rohit Sharma himself will leave Mumbai Indians or the team will remove him.’ I think Rohit himself would not want to be retained: Aakash Chopra Aakash Chopra further said, ‘Anything can happen but I don’t think Rohit will be retained. I don’t know anything about it but my personal opinion is that Rohit will be released. Rohit can go somewhere else through the trade window but he will definitely be seen in the auction. His journey with Mumbai Indians is over now.’ Regarding Suryakumar Yadav, Aakash Chopra further said, ‘I don’t think Mumbai will leave Suryakumar Yadav nor will the experienced batsman himself want to leave. I have not heard anything about this but he will remain with the Mumbai team.’ Batsmen who hit the most sixes for India in the death overs of T20I Batsmen who scored the fastest T20 century for Australia- Mushir Khan broke Sachin Tendulkar’s 33 year old record Wicketkeepers with most Man of the Match awards for India 7 expensive watches of Hardik Pandya and their prices, know here- Virat Kohli has earned more than 8 billion rupees in the last 12 months List of teams scoring the most runs in the power play of T20- Rahul Dravid became rich after becoming the head coach of Rajasthan Royals These 5 Indian cricketers pay the highest tax, you will be shocked to know the amount Haris Rauf’s wife is extremely beautiful, even Bollywood actresses fail

I don’t see any prospects for Shreyas Iyer in Tests at the moment.” Talking about Iyer’s position in the team, Chopra said that there were at least three players from the current setup whom he could think of who would not get a place for the first Test, which shows how far Iyer is in this race. The former cricketer further said, “Whoever is there will not be able to play all the matches. Those who are part of this team, including Sarfaraz, KL Rahul and Dhruv Jurel. I think they themselves will not be able to get into the playing XI. So where will Shreyas Iyer come in this?”
