Mishra claimed that Rohit is open with his players while discussing plans, while Kohli is not easily approachable. Mishra also reckoned that it is the fame and the money that has changed Kohli. "The difference is in the nature. Rohit is very open with his players. A very good thing about Rohit is that when I met him for the first time, he is the same like he is now. So who would you relate to more - the one who stays the same or the one who changes according to the situation?" Mishra said on YouTuber Shubhankar Mishra's show 'Unplugged'. On being asked if he has seen any change in Virat Kohli, Mishra says, "Yes, very much. There was hardly any talk between us." "I haven't been part of the Indian team in years. Still when I meet Rohit during the IPL or any other event, he is always joking with me. I don't need to think what he will think. We joke with each other. He is at the top but we still have maintained that rapport," he added further.
