Before the start of the fourth Test in Ranchi, the Indian team made their way into the dressing room. While going up, the players interacted with a couple of fans, signing autographs or taking pictures with them. 

While doing so, Yashasvi Jaiswal was seen speaking to a couple of fans. Some fans were recording a video, and many demanded the youngster to bring in his opening partner, Rohit Sharma, in front of them. He refused their request, with many asking why he couldn’t bring the Indian captain out. The youngster joked that he was afraid of his captain.

Nahi, mereko bhi darr lagta hai. (No, I am afraid of him.)
Jaiswal said

Sharma is known to keep his dressing as lively and, at the same time, calm. He is also known to keep things exciting and fun in the dressing room to keep things positive, like the fielding medal during the 2023 ODI World Cup.
