Nowadays everyone has a single room – Rohit Sharma
During an entertaining segment with comedian Kapil Sharma, Rohit Sharma revealed the two teammates he would rather not share a room with. Rohit humorously explained that Shikhar Dhawan and Rishabh Pant’s messy habits and late nights make them unsuitable roommates.
“Nowadays everyone has a single room. But if I get a chance to share a single room, there are two people I wouldn’t like to share a room with: Shikhar Dhawan and Rishabh Pant. Bade gande hai (They are very messy). After practice, they just throw their clothes on the bed,” Rohit said.
“Their room is always in DND because they sleep until 1:00 pm The cleaning staff comes in the morning to clean their rooms, so it is important that they put their rooms in DND. Otherwise, they will enter by force. That’s why their rooms usually remain untidy for three or four days. It becomes a problem for the people around them. So I don’t think I can stay with them,” Rohit added.
