His teammates often talk about his ability to lighten the mood in the dressing room with his witty remarks and pranks. One such incident was revealed by his Indian teammate, Yuzvendra Chahal, during a candid interview. Chahal, known for his YouTube series "Chahal TV," where he interviews fellow cricketers, shared an incident where Rohit had pranked him during a team bus ride.
It was during one of the tours abroad, and the team was on its way back to the hotel after a tiring match. Chahal, as usual, was engrossed in his phone, not paying much attention to his surroundings. Rohit, sitting a few rows behind him, decided it was the perfect opportunity for some mischief. He quietly got up, snuck up behind Chahal, and snatched his phone, replacing it with a dummy phone that looked exactly the same. Chahal, completely oblivious to the switch, continued tapping away on the dummy phone for several minutes before realizing that something was off. When he finally discovered the prank, it was too late, and the entire bus, led by Rohit’s infectious laughter, burst into amusement. Chahal, though slightly embarrassed, couldn’t help but join in the laughter.
