“In the bus, he came close to me asked: “Did I know whose seat it was? Did I know who sits there? So it was not the first good experience for me with Yuvraj Singh. On the first international tour as well, where Yuvraj was Man of the series, we did not talk and when I congratulated him, he just said thanks. It was only when he smashed six sixes in an over when he came to ask me and we went to eat something outside.,” Rohit added.
