New Delhi. After Rohit Kohli i.e. 'Roco', after leaving the Test cricket, different action and reaction are being seen. The latest reaction has come, Ravi Shastri, former coach of Team India, in which he made such a statement about Rohit Sharma, which can also raise many questions.

My style would be this and I told him. This thing was in my heart for several days and I had to tell him. When Shastri's words were removed, it seemed here that the Sydney Test put a brake on Rohit's career and he would have played there on the tuff pitch and batted in his own style, along with the result of the match, his career would have increased.
