Elaborating the reason Shami revealed, “I don?t interact much with Rohit on phone. Don?t know, but Rohit and I hardly even bond on jokes, etc. Though we have debuted in Test together?With Virat, we both talk on all sorts of things (music taste or regarding any joke). We even interact quite often over the phone. Hence, I will go towards Virat in this case. It is not because he is the captain, but we bond in a much better way,??
