Recently, a couple of his videos went viral from the Tests between India and England.

The India captain did not say a lot when it came to speaking about Yashasvi Jaiswal at the post-match press conference, saying he won't say much. However, a day later, Rohit find time to collectively praise all three young match-winners of Rajkot Test - Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel. Taking to Instagram, Rohit shared a collage on Stories in which one can see Jurel effecting a run out while Sarfaraz and Yashasvi are celebrating a big moment while batting together. On this post, Rohit wrote: "Ye aajkal ke bache." In English, it loosely translates to "these youngsters are something else."   

Check out Rohit's post for the three Indan youngsters here:

All three cricketers - Yashasvi, Sarfaraz and Jurel - contributed to the win in their own. Yashasvi scored just 10 in the first innings but he made up for it by hitting 214 not-out in the second innings which set up the base for win in Rajkot. His knock was played at a strike rate of 90.68 while he also hit record-equalling 12 sixes in an Test innings. 

Sarfaraz smashed twin fifties in his maiden Test, scoring 62 and 68 not-out in the two innings. While his first-innings fifty helped India get to a 445, the unbeaten 68 was crucial to give England a target of over 500 runs in the chase.

Another debutant in the match, Jurel, made a gritty 46 in the first innings. He also effected a brilliant run out of Ben Duckett in the 2nd innings to push England on back fot. Duckett was their best batter in this Test as he had slammed a brilliant 153 in the first innings.
