Rohit has been at his home in Mumbai throughout the lockdown period. The city is one of the worst affected regions by the coronavirus pandemic and Rohit feels that he may be the last person to rejoin the Indian team whenever training resumes.

"In India, it is going to be different as certain parts of the country have been affected the most and certain parts which have not been affected a lot. So I am assuming that those places might open up a lot earlier than Mumbai, the city where I stay and which is the most infected. I feel the other guys will send me videos of catching up with each other a lot earlier than I do," he said.

The Indian limited-overs vice captain said that he would have been a midfielder had he chosen football as his profession. "I would see myself playing in midfield and not attacking too much because that position is very skillful and you have to create a lot of chances and I don't like running a lot," said Rohit. "It's a position where you not only create opportunities but also stop the opposition from creating opportunities.

"I have tried playing a charity football game here in India, it was Bollywood against the cricketers, the All-stars and it was damn tough. It was 5-6 years ago, I remember, I was 25-26 (years of age) there were a lot of older guys in the team who just did not want to do the running and made us do the running instead. Mahi (MS Dhoni), Yuvraj (Singh) and Virat (Kohli) were there in the team, Yuvraj, is someone who doesn't like to run and so is M.S. Dhoni."
