Rishabh Pant is the youngster I talk most to, reveals Rohit Sharma

"I talk to Rishabh Pant more, he is just 20-21, he was under so much of scrutiny that he got tensed. Media thinks its part of their job to write but they should be sensible and think before writing something as it plays a huge part. I tell them if you have came in the team a year ago then don't keep waiting to gain experience and start learning straightaway, just take each innings as the last innings of your life" Rohit Sharma said.

Furthermore, Sharma also shared his admiration of former teammate Yuvraj Singh and revealed that the latter was in fact his cricketing crush when he made his Team India debut. Singh was the reason behind India’s 2011 50-over World Cup victory with a Man of the Tournament performance. Sharma revealed that the way Yuvraj finished off games inspired his batting. The 32-year-old also recalled the first time he met Yuvraj, a rather funny incident.

"I was in the team bus for the first time. I was scared if I got late so I was early by 30 minutes. I sat on Yuvi paa's seat. He was coming from the lobby, sunglasses on. I was thrilled to see him and as he came, swag se swagat kia (he welcomed me in style). 'you know whose seat is this?' He asked me. Then I was asked to sit somewhere else. We have had a great relationship after that. I learnt so much from you. We had fun," he added.
