Amit Mishra Reflects on Relationships with Kohli and Rohit: Fame Impact
Former Indian cricketer Amit Mishra recently shared insights into his relationships with two cricketing stalwarts, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Mishra, who played for the Lucknow Super Giants, highlighted the changes fame and success had brought to Kohli’s demeanor over time.
Mishra reminisced on his bond with Rohit Sharma, describing a long-standing friendship that has remained constant since Sharma’s early days in cricket. He emphasized Sharma’s unchanging nature and their strong relationship that has persisted through Sharma’s captaincy and IPL successes.
However, in contrast to the camaraderie with Sharma, Mishra disclosed a more distant dynamic with Virat Kohli. He noted how their communication had dwindled, attributing it to Kohli’s evolution with fame and leadership responsibilities within the Indian cricket team.
Notably, Yuvraj Singh, a former teammate and World Cup winner, had previously commented on the shifts in his friendship with Virat Kohli as Kohli’s stardom grew.
Moving beyond his cricketing peers, Mishra also reflected on his past feud with Irfan Pathan over a political statement. In a recent podcast, Mishra stood by his comments on India’s constitution, expressing that it was essential to follow the rule of law in the country.
As Mishra navigates his relationships in and out of cricket, he maintains a pragmatic approach, keeping a distance from Pathan while cherishing close friendships. The conversation offers a unique insight into the personal dynamics of cricketing icons off the field.
