Meanwhile, before the match, captain Rohit Sharma has given a statement on this. He has said that it is a good thing to have such a problem. He also told who he would choose as wicketkeeper batsman for this match. Rohit Sharma gave this answer on the selection of Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul Captain Rohit Sharma, while answering this question in the press conference before the match, said how would he choose between KL Rahul and Rishabh? He said, “It is a difficult decision. Both of them are excellent players. You know the capabilities of both the players. When you have such quality, it is not easy to choose a team or player. Both these players are like that. They are match winners on their day. They have won many matches for us in the past.” Captain Rohit further said, “It is always good to have problems in selecting a team like this. You know, when you discuss a lot about who to choose and who not to, it means that there is quality in the team.

He said that he started experiencing this recently. But the surprising thing is that he has not got this disease treated nor has he made any such plan. “I have never had my mental health checked. I think this is a normal thing in today’s world and things get better slowly on their own. You can ask my parents, I have never even gone to a doctor for this. My condition has become such that I remain very sad and upset throughout the day, and for many days I do not move from one place, I just lie down all day.” “I just couldn’t get out of bed. Losing family members, losing some of my closest friends, so I think I was the one who suffered the most, but I think it was grief. I don’t know if it was depression or not. I never went to the doctor to get medication to take care of my sadness and depression.”
