Rishabh Pant’s Fun Banter About Rohit Sharma’s Whereabouts
The Indian cricket scene has been hit with the retirement of two legends: Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli from Test cricket. Rohit’s retirement, in particular, has left a massive gap both on the field and in the locker room. His unfiltered and often hilarious remarks, often caught on the stump mic, will certainly be missed by fans. From his iconic “koi garden me ghoomta hua nahi dikhna chahie” (No one should be seen roaming around) during a Test against England in Vizag to his candid moments with teammates, Rohit’s presence was always a source of humor and motivation.
Rishabh Pant, the new vice-captain of India’s Test team, recently gave fans a taste of his playful side when asked about Rohit’s whereabouts during his interaction with the paparazzi at Mumbai airport. Pant’s cheeky response brought laughter to all around, showcasing his lighthearted nature.
Question – where is Rohit Sharma?

Rishabh Pant’s Hilarious Reply About Rohit Sharma
As Rishabh Pant made his way through the airport, a paparazzo quizzed him about Rohit Sharma’s whereabouts, to which Pant replied in a mischievous tone, “Garden main ghoom rahe hai” (He is roaming in the garden). This playful remark immediately had everyone around him in splits. Pant’s witty response highlights his great camaraderie with Rohit, and the fans couldn’t help but chuckle at the light-hearted exchange.
When asked if he would miss Rohit, Pant admitted, “Yes, I will miss him.” It’s no surprise that Pant and other players would miss a leader like Rohit, known not only for his brilliant batting but also for his jovial and motivating presence on the field.
Rohit Sharma’s Iconic Stump Mic Moments
Rohit Sharma’s time in the Indian Test team will be remembered not just for his cricketing feats but also for the memorable moments caught on stump mic. One of his most iconic quotes was during a 2024 Test match against England in Visakhapatnam, where he was heard giving a pep talk to his teammates, emphasizing energy on the field. This particular incident became a fan favorite and will forever be associated with his leadership style.
Moreover, after the series win against England, Rohit posted a picture on Instagram with the caption “Garden mein ghoomne wale bande” (The one who roams in the garden), poking fun at his own words, showing his self-deprecating humor.

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli Bid Farewell to Test Cricket
Following India’s disappointing tour of Australia, where both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli failed to make significant runs in the five-match Test series, both players decided to retire from Test cricket. Rohit, who played 67 Tests, and Kohli, who represented India in 123 Tests, left the game with numerous accolades but after a challenging series.
Before the announcement of the squad for the England tour, both players called time on their Test careers, leaving a huge void in the Indian lineup. In their absence, Shubman Gill has been appointed as the new Test captain, while Rishabh Pant will serve as his deputy.
The much-awaited Test series between India and England will begin on June 20 in Headingley, with the remaining matches set to take place in Manchester, Lord’s, Edgbaston, and The Oval. It will be interesting to see how the team adapts to the leadership change, but the legacy of Rohit and Kohli will undoubtedly continue to inspire the current squad.
