“What can I do? Our boys are lazy bums, they just don’t run,” Rohit said in the teaser uploaded by Netflix. The fragment has now gone viral on social media.

Iyer was recently in the news after losing his central contract with BCCI. He’s had a tough month in the run-up to the IPL, but the KKR skipper suggested he wanted to put all those negative thoughts on the back burner as he focused on what lay ahead.

“So I want to put all these things aside and focus on what’s on the plate for me,” the skipper made his priority clear.
