Rohit Sharma is renowned for his press conferences, much on the lines of his first captain MS Dhoni. After scoring 140 in the World Cup 2019 match against Pakistan, Sharma was asked for advice by a reporter to the Pakistan cricket team. In reply, Sharma comically said that he is not the batting coach of the archrival side and hence, was in no position to comment about their performance.

In another press conference last year, Sharma was on fire when he was asked a tricky question by a reporter. In response, the batsman promised that he is not amongst those who will readily give masala or gossip basically that the media often loves to thrive on.

Rohit Sharma also responded to a plethora of many other questions from fans on the micro-blogging site. He picked former Australian pacer Glenn McGrath when he was asked which bowler from the past would he like to face at some point in his life. Rohit Sharma also picked his unbeaten 122 against South Africa as his favourite of the five centuries he scored at the 2019 World Cup in England. In light of the now-scheduled Indian Premier League 2020 (IPL 2020) season, one fan asked which Mumbai Indians cricketer from the past would he like to bring back into the fold, to which he picked former Indian and South African captains Sachin Tendulkar and Shaun Pollock respectively.
