Rohit wrote- ‘Dear Rahul Bhai, I am trying to find the right words to express my feelings properly, but I am not sure I will ever be able to do so, so this is my little attempt.
I have looked up to you like billions of people since my childhood days, but I am fortunate enough to have got the opportunity to work with you so closely.
You are a legend of the game, but you left all your achievements and accolades aside to serve as our coach. Handled us in a way that made us all feel comfortable to say anything to you.
This is your love for the game even after leaving cricket so long. I have learned a lot from you and I will cherish every memory I have with you. My wife calls you my work wife and I am lucky that I get a chance to hear that.
Winning the Cricket World Cup was the only thing you didn’t have and I’m glad we achieved it together. Rahul Bhai, it is a matter of privilege for me that I am getting a chance to call you my coach and my friend.
