Amitabh Bachchan responds to Rohit Sharma's cute video with his daughter Samaira

There’s a lot of buzz in the cricketing fraternity as the IPL kicks off today (March 23). The MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) square off against the Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). Mumbai Indians will their season underway at home against the Delhi Capitals in the third game of the season.

Rohit Sharma will be back leading the Mumbai Indians for the seventh consecutive year. He took over captaincy back in 2013 when Ricky Ponting decided to drop himself midway through the season. Ever since then, Rohit has led the side in every game he’s played for the Mumbai Indians.

Ahead of the season, the Hitman also revealed that he will be opening in all the games possible. Despite being a regular opener for the Indian team in white-ball cricket, he has been reluctant to bat at the top of the order in the IPL. In fact, he has opened the batting in just 19 IPL matches so far. However, his record in international cricket as an opener and also the upcoming World Cup prompted the MI skipper to shift to open the batting.

Too Cute, says AB

Rohit Sharma had gone back home before the fourth Test in Australia for the birth of his first child. The Indian limited-overs vice-captain had posted a picture of his daughter holding his wife’s finger. Ever since her birth, Rohit Sharma hasn’t shied away from expressing his love towards his daughter Samaira on social media.

He took to Twitter to upload an adorable video with his daughter earlier on Saturday. The Mumbaikar was seen singing a popular and trending Hindi song ‘Asli Hip Hop’ with Samaira in his hand. He captioned the video ‘We all have a little bit of gully in us’ and put it out on Twitter. Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan was awestruck by the video and replied, ‘Too cute’.
