Rohit Sharma describes strong camaraderie with Virat Kohli

Rohit Sharma says he and Virat Kohli have maintained a strong camaraderie throughout their international careers, with mutual appreciation and regular conversations about their batting. In an interview, the former India captain also said the pair laugh when they see the “Ro-Ko” nickname used on television, describing it as a source of fun rather than something they take seriously. Rohit said their connection began during a tour of Australia or shortly after the team returned to India. He and Kohli made their international debuts within a year of each other, Rohit in 2007 and Kohli in 2008, and have since played together for India. Rohit said they understand the demands of performing at the highest level, even though their methods differ. He described an ongoing exchange of feedback, saying each player sometimes points out ways the other could improve. Rohit also praised Kohli’s contribution to the team and said he expected Kohli to keep preparing and playing to win matches. He said Kohli’s approach had remained consistent through changes in their roles, including periods when either player was captain.
