Rohit Sharma is a cricketer who is known to be very calm and composed, someone who barely gets angry. However, on an occasion, Rohit got so angry because of his teammate Ravindra Jadeja, that he wanted to punch him.
During the tour of South Africa earlier this year, many of the Indian cricketers went for Safari, which is quite famous in the country. During the safari, something interesting happened, which made Rohit lose his cool. The story was initially revealed by Ajinkya Rahane, to which Rohit further added the spices during a chat show named What the Duck with renowned comedian Vikram Sathaye.
The Indian opener then linked Jadeja”s act to one of his previous act, which led him into trouble in Gujarat and government got involved in it. “He had also done the same thing in Gujarat and government got involved in it. So taking him along was not a good idea. Actually, we should have just left him behind in the vehicle,” Rohit said.
Meanwhile, Rahane admitted that the women brigade was braver than them on the occasion. He revealed, “Till that moment, we thought that we are brave, we can do anything but when the guide instructed us that if they run towards you, we shouldn”t move and just stand still at one place. At that time, we realised that our wives are braver than us.”
Rohit then made the interesting statement on Jadeja by concluding, “The moment Jadeja started making noises, those cheetahs turned around to look at us. At that time, only I know what was going through my mind. I looked at Jadeja angrily and I felt like punching him but then I thought that it is necessary to stay calm now.”
Rohit's punch
I remember many things during Safari and we had lots of fun. But one incident that took place was Cheetah walking. So, we thought that cheetah walking meant that we would be walking behind 2-3 cheetahs but we were actually in the jungle and we didnt know what was around us. When we -me, Radhika (Rahane”s wife), Ritika (Rohit”s wife), Rohit and Jadeja – reached the centre of the jungle, there were two cheetahs who had just caught a prey. And when all of us reached there, they turned around and looked at us,” said Rahane.
In between, Rohit interrupted Rahane to add spice to the story and quipped, “You should never go along with Jadeja anywhere.”
Never travel with Jadeja
Rohit further revealed the reason behind Cheetahs looking back at them and credited Jadeja for that. He revealed, “It was because of Jadeja; he was making some weird noises and calling them. And we said, “what are you doing! We are in a jungle.” And if they get to know we are there, they will make us their prey. But I think it was our lives” best experience because you don”t get a chance to roam around in the jungle like this, especially seeing two cheetahs who have just hunted eating their meal. So, we were watching them from behind and Jadeja started making noise.”
