We will give our lives for Rohit.. because?

It is known that Ravichandran Ashwin went to Chennai in the middle of the match in the third Test against England at Rajkot. As his mother was seriously ill in the ICU, Ashwin went to Chennai with the permission of the BCCI. But Ashwin shared the events of that day on his YouTube channel.

Ā At that time he said with emotion that he saw a great leader in Rohit Sharma. 'That day I sat in the living room and cried. No one's phone calls are answered. Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid came to me asking how I was. I told them what I couldn't think of. I am in the final team. If I leave I will have to play with ten people. On the other hand, at the same time, I was thinking about the last time I spoke to my mother. I wanted to go and see my mother from there. The doctor said that he is not in a position to see her now. I couldn't hold back the tears after that. I searched for the flight. But nothing is available. Rajkot Airport has no flights after 6 PM. I didn't know what to do after that.ā€ ā€œRohit told me to stop thinking and go to my family. He tried to arrange a special flight for me. Moreover, the physio suggested Kamlesh to accompany me to Chennai. Kamlesh is one of the two physios with Team India. I asked Kamlesh to stay with the team. But when I went to the security checking, Kamlesh came and was waiting for me. It was still 9.30 pm. Kamlesh and Pujara were with me when I was in a state of not knowing what to do. It would have been very difficult if I had no one with me at that time. Even if I was the captain, I would tell a player in that position to go home. But he might not have arranged for others to accompany him. Saw a great leader in Rohit that day."
