Speaking to Star Sports, Rohit mentioned the one person who he wants to meet this lifetime.

"Zinedine Zidane. There is lots to ask him, how did he headbutt in that game? What made him do that? As a manager to Real Madrid how did he manage to pull those championship titles back-to-back with a lot of guys in his team at the end of their career. How did he manage to keep the consistency and get the best of the team in all the matches? These are the things I would ask him and maybe something more."
