'I felt like punching Jadeja', why was Rohit Sharma furious at Jadeja?

 

Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja are two big names of the Indian cricket team. Both these players are very close friends, but there was a time when Rohit became very angry with his teammate Jadeja and wanted to punch him hard. Actually, this incident is very old. Jadeja, Rohit Sharma and Ajinkya Rahane went on safari together in South Africa. Meanwhile, Jadeja did such an act in the middle of the forest due to which the hitman lost his temper and somehow controlled himself.

Actually, during this safari, Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane and Jadeja got a chance to see the cheetah very closely. But when two-three leopards came in front of the Indian players, they all got very nervous. Rohit Sharma was the most scared and meanwhile Jadeja attracted the leopard's attention by making strange noises. Rohit did not like this action of Jadeja at all and he revealed in an interview many years later that at that time I felt like punching Jadeja hard.

This was a scary experience for Rohit, remembering which he says that Jadeja started making noise after seeing the leopard. Those leopards had come after hunting and then they turned to look at us. Only I know what was going on in my mind at that time. I looked at Jadeja angrily and felt like punching him but then I thought it was important to remain calm.

Let us tell you that Rohit Sharma and Ajinkya Rahane's wife were also present in this safari. But here their wives had shown more bravery than Rohit and Rahane. He was the person on the field in Hitman Safari who was most frightened after seeing the leopard in front of him. But even today Rohit is very happy that the wild animal did not hurt him. On the other hand, remembering this incident, he does not shy away from calling himself the most nervous person.
