SRIRAM VEERA

WITH HIS SIGNATURE humour, Rohit Sharma delivered a line to confirm he is not going anywhere just yet, quashing retirement rumours.

In a 15-minute interview with Indian broadcaster Star Sports at lunch on Day 2 of the fifth and final Test between India and Australia in Sydney, Sharma, who is not in the playing XI, said, "Sensible aadmi hoon, mature aadmi hoon, do bachhon ka baap hoon, mere paas thoda sa dimaag hai (I am a sensible man, I am a mature man, I am a father of two kids, I have some brains)" was his response when he was asked about his short-term future as captain. He said those on the outside cannot influence when he stops playing the game or leading the side.
