The 23-year-old, who has played for India in two T20Is and three Tests so far, also disclosed that Rohit makes a special effort to make sure that younger players are at ease in the squad.
“He always said, ‘If you need any help just come over, I don’t have any problem. Aapko comfortable feel karana. Test cricket mein jab naam aaya tha tab captain Rohit bhaiya hi the toh unse baat kari. Bahut accha laga. Like sab normal hi hai,” Jurel added.
