Indian captain Rohit Sharma has finally opened up about the origins of his now-iconic on-field remark, “Koi garden mein nahi ghoomega,” which went viral during India’s second Test against England in Visakhapatnam in February 2024. Heard via the stump mic, the phrase quickly became a meme sensation, with the dialogue constantly being used on social media these days. More than a year later, Rohit has shed light on what led to the comment, revealing that it was an attempt to jolt his players into showing more intensity in a crucial phase of the match. "I was desperate to get a wicket" Speaking on JioHotstar, Rohit Sharma said that he wanted his players to show some more intensity on the field as the game was hanging by a loose thread. “It was in Vizag, I saw that the over ended, but the players were walking leisurely as if they were in a garden. No one was showing urgency in the field. I was fielding in the slip, we had spinners bowling from both ends. The game was hanging by a loose thread, it was an important game, we had to win. I had told the players in the morning that we need to put in some extra effort but they were having fun in the ground,” Rohit said. The moment came during a tense session, where England had begun building a dangerous partnership. Rohit admitted he could no longer hold back after seeing the fielders lose their edge. “So I saw it for two-three overs and then said things can't go on like this, you can't play cricket like this. Everyone was just going with the flow, which annoyed me. A partnership was going on, I was desperate to get a wicket. In such moments, everyone needs to put in a collective effort. At that moment, I saw everyone being busy with themselves, which I didn't like,” he added. India went on to win the Test by 106 runs as Jasprit Bumrah ran through England's batting order. The pacer ended with nine wickets in the match.
