Mhambrey on Rohit Sharma [X.com]
Paras Mhambrey played a pivotal role in the Indian cricket team's coaching staff and has been an integral part of Mumbai Indians (MI), contributing to their success over the years.
The coaching staff's efforts culminated in ending India's 11-year wait for an ICC title. Hindustan Times recently spoke with the former India bowling coach, who is now enjoying some family time after being constantly on the road for three years.
He was really involved in this team: Mhambrey
Reflecting on his time with Rohit Sharma, Mhambrey said,
"With Rohit… I've been part of the MI team. I've interacted a lot. It's very important to have your captain on the same page. He was really involved in this team. He attended each and every meeting. There was a lot of discussion in the general team meetings and during those discussions during breakfast. Rahul and Vicky used to step out for dinner. Rohit would join in to have a casual conversation. This just creates trust and a bond with everyone. That transpired on the ground. The relationship that they have it's not only off the field, it's on the field as well. Very nice of Rohit to say that (referring to Dravid as his work wife). That you know the impact Rahul has had on him."
Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid shared a strong bond during their time together. Following India's T20I victory and the conclusion of Dravid's tenure as head coach, Rohit Sharma penned a heartfelt note, affectionately referring to Dravid as his "work wife."
Rohit Sharma, after announcing his retirement from T20Is, is set to lead Team India in the upcoming ODI series against Sri Lanka, starting August 2.
