Rohit Sharma gave ‘Gurumantra’ to Team India

While talking to Jio Hotstar before the start of T20 World Cup 2026, Rohit has given special advice to the players of Team India to stay away from social media. He believes that players should maintain some distance from social media, so that they are not influenced by external noise. Rohit told that he had done the same before the 2023 World Cup. He said that this was not imposed on anyone, rather he himself had initiated it.

He said, it is very good to stay away from social media. I still stay away. I get news from outside that this happened or that happened and I like it. I did the same during the 2023 World Cup. “Before I asked anyone else, I had to do it myself.” Let us tell you that, the Indian team had shown a brilliant performance in the 2023 ODI World Cup, but missed out on winning the title by losing to Australia in the final.

The decision was not imposed on fellow players

Rohit Sharma further said that he did not force this thing on any player. He said, “I did not go and talk to anyone directly about this. There was definitely a discussion between Rahul Bhai (Rahul Dravid) and me whether we should talk to the team on this issue or not.”

According to Rohit, Rahul Dravid told him, “I don’t know whether it will be right or not, because it is a very personal matter. It is for you to decide.” After this Rohit left the topic there. However, he also said that later some players themselves came forward and suggested that this should be done. Rohit said that he would not take the name, but two-three players came to him and expressed their views.

Our performance in the 2023 World Cup was excellent

Rohit further said, “If you see, our performance in the 2023 World Cup was quite brilliant. It was not only because of the play on the field, but also because of the environment outside the field. We stayed together for the full 45 days, spent a lot of time with each other, did different activities, had fun, pulled each other’s legs and gave fielding medals. Fielding medals were also started in the same World Cup. We did all the fun things together, enjoyed a lot and its effect was clearly visible in our performance on the field.”
