Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma finally revealed the story behind his famous ‘Koi Garden Meen Nahi Ghomega’ dialogue. During the second Test match against England in Visakhapatnam in February 2024, Rohit was asked to talk to his players on Stump Mike and show more energy during the encounter. The dialogue became synonymous with Star India Batter and a year after the incident, he finally revealed what inspired it. Rohit revealed that this was an important moment in the match and he wanted his players to give their best on the field.
“It was in Vizag, I saw that the over was over and the players were running leisurely as they were in a garden. Nobody was running, there was no urgency in the field. I was fielding in the slip, we were bowling spinners from both ends. The game was hanging with a loose thread, it was an important game.
Rohit also said that India actually needed a wicket at that phase of the match and they needed their players to be more active. India won the match by 106 runs and level the five-match series 1–1.
“So I saw it for two-three overs and then said that things cannot go on like this, you cannot play cricket like this.
