AHMEDABAD: India skipper Rohit Sharma's facial expressions give plenty away. If he doesn't like a question asked to him during a press conference, he reacts as if a bad joke has been cracked. A loaded question on him getting teary-eyed whenever the National anthem is played, meant to extract a jingoistic response from him just because India's opponents on Saturday are Pakistan, evoked such a reaction on the eve of India's big-ticket World Cup encounter against the 1992 World Champions at the Narendra Modi Stadium here on Friday.
As captain, Rohit has mastered the art of not saying much, but meaning a lot. When asked if opener Shubman Gill, affected by dengue and the resultant weakness it causes, is fit to play at a venue where his record is Bradmanesque, on Saturday, the skipper said, "99% he is available. We will see tomorrow."
