Yograj Singh on Rohit Sharma’s Fitness has sparked buzz with his outspoken remarks about the treatment of veteran players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. The former cricketer openly criticized how these stars were treated in their early days. Speaking on the show Find a Way, hosted by Taruwar Kohli, Yograj Singh on Rohit Sharma’s Fitness took center stage as he boldly claimed he would push Rohit to run 20km if he were India’s coach.
Yograj indicated that if he were the coach of India, he would pay great attention to helping them regain their form. “If you make me the coach of the Indian team, I will make these same players unbeatable,” said Yograj. “I would be strict with them regarding discipline and fitness; I would treat them like my kids and tell them: ‘I am with you.’ I will make them play Ranji Trophy or make Rohit run 20km.” He is sure strict training and hard work will bring success.
These comments come at a time when Rohit got into some trouble at the start of this year’s edition of the IPL 2025. Rohit was out for a duck against the left-arm pacer Khaleel Ahmed, who had set up quite an effective hold over Rohit Sharma in their very first match for the Mumbai Indians against the Chennai Super Kings at Chepauk. For some morale boost, he was seen having fun boating in Jamnagar with teammate Tilak Varma and some other support staff before the next match against Gujarat Titans.
The Mumbai Indians are also struggling with other hindrances. Captain Hardik Pandya is missing from the first match because of his slow over-rate, and indeed, he is missed. At the moment, star pacer Jasprit Bumrah is recuperating at the BCCI Centre of Excellence and awaiting news on when he will make a return, which unfortunately remains unannounced. So many uncertainties are hovering over them; every next game looks like crucial stakes for the team campaign in this year’s IPL.
Yograj Singh’s heartfelt comment for the senior players spotlights the ongoing debate in Indian cricket about whether experience should be preferred over that player’s current form. It is his way of thinking, emphasizing patience, hard work and mental support. The principles that have assisted the careers of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. How the seniors respond to the challenges that lie ahead will be the talk during this season.
