In an interview that is viral on the internet, Rohit candidly admits that expectations are important in life.
Rohit says, “Sharmaji ka ladka…I have heard from many people but in life there are always expectations when you go and win the World Cup, now there’s another expectation that we have to win another World Cup. So expectations will never end. If you have won this World Cup you’ll be asked to win the next World Cup that is coming up.”
Rohit continues, “And it is absolutely fair because in life you want to grow, you want to grow as a person, you want to grow as a sportsman.”

As a senior member of the team, Rohit’s fitness and fielding standards are closely watched. There is an expectation that he will continue to lead by example in terms of fielding efforts and maintaining a high level of fitness, especially with the added responsibility of captaincy.
Rohit is expected to be both a run machine and a strong leader, guiding India with his experience and tactical nous while continuing to perform at the highest level on the global stage.
