Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have been considered the greats of Indian cricket. Everyone is well aware of how legendary both of them are, not just due to their on-field performances. But also because of how well they handle themselves in the media, especially when it comes to defending teammates.
The ‘Ro-Ko bond’ has been the talk of the town for many months, as they both protect each other when they receive criticism. In the recently held press conference by BCCI ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024, we witnessed another Ro-Ko moment. When Rohit was asked about Kohli’s strike rate issue in T20 cricket, he handled the situation amazingly by laughing at this silly question.
His laughter reminded us of a moment two years ago when Virat Kohli was the captain of the Indian team. After the 10-wicket loss against Pakistan in the T20 World Cup 2021, which happened in Dubai, Virat was seen laughing at a journalist’s question about Rohit’s T20 future. These two scenarios are taking a storm on social media, as both players are always seen backing each other. Let’s have a look at the top tweets about both players, which are heartwarming.
Ro-KO Bond Forever
As mentioned, the bond between Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli is the soul of Indian cricket. Although there were speculations in the past that they didn’t support each other, it all turned out to be false.
In 2021, when India went to play the T20 World Cup, Rohit was going through a bit of batting turbulence. After losing a game to Pakistan, Rohit came under scrutiny for his batting performance. A reporter asked Virat if they were considering dropping Rohit in future T20I games, to which Virat laughingly responded, “Will you drop Rohit Sharma?”and defended him.
