Rohit had before said that he wouldn’t change as a person as a result of losing a game or a competition.

What has Rohit had to say regarding this?

“A person’s successes or failures cannot cause them to change overnight. I don’t believe that one outcome or one victory can alter who I am as a person. Before reporting to the Asia Cup camp in Bengaluru, Rohit granted PTI an exclusive interview. “I have not changed as a person in the last 16 years, and I don’t think anything needs to change on that front,” he said.
