Harbhajan Singh On Virat Kohli And Rohit Sharma's Impact In Dressing Room

The former spinner explained in his YouTube video that the presence of such experienced players must have been a huge confidence boost for the young players.

Harbhajan Singh shared, "Kohli going into Delhi’s dressing room is obviously a big, big learning experience for all those kids sitting there. It’s a huge lesson for them to see what Kohli does. Similarly, Rohit Sharma has gone into Mumbai’s dressing room. Although Mumbai has always been a very big team and has won a lot, I still feel that Kohli playing and Rohit playing is, in itself, a very big thing."

He further added, "And both of them are scoring runs, which is a good sign. It doesn’t matter who you are playing against, but what matters are the conditions on the ground. This isn’t net practice. Scoring a hundred here is a big deal in itself. It becomes a habit, a good habit."
