What Rohit Said at The Event

'I think, it was my biggest dream to transform this team and not worry too much about stats and results and also to make sure that we create that environment where people can go out there and play freely without thinking too much. This is what was required. I got a lot of help, to be honest my three pillars who are actually Mr. Jay Shah, Mr. Rahul Dravid and the Chairman of Selectors, Mr. Ajit Agarkar. It was very critical for me to do what I did and obviously not to forget the players who came in different point in time and helped the team achieve what we achieve.', said Rohit.
