Despite hailing Rohit for his batting prowess, Kapil raised concerns over his fitness and said that it was a shame that the Indian captain was not fit.
“It is very important (to be fit). More so for a captain. It’s a shame if you are not fit. Rohit needs to put some hard work on it. He is a great batter but when you talk about his fitness, he looks a bit overweight, at least on TV,” said Kapil Dev.
“Yes, it’s different when you look at someone on TV and then in real life. But from whatever I see, Rohit is a great player and a great captain, but he needs to get fit,” he added.
Kapil Dev compared former India captain Virat Kohli’s fitness to Rohit Sharma and said that the batter needs to get inspired from his teammate. “Look at Virat, whenever you see him, you say, ‘that’s some fitness!’,” concluded Kapil Dev.
