What the captain says

“A person can’t change overnight with his success or failures. I don’t think one result or one championship can change me as a person. I have not changed as a person in the last 16 years and I don’t think anything needs to change on that front.”

• Rohit Sharma shrugging off the pressure of playing at home.
