<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/ravichandran-ashwin-reveals-virat-kohli-calling-rohit-sharma-a-captains-nightmare/" title="Rohit Sharma" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rohit Sharma</a>&nbsp;is one such player in the current Indian team who has played a decent number of matches against Pakistan. In One-Day Internationals (ODIs), he holds an incredible batting record against the Men in Green while in T20 Internationals (T20Is), his numbers aren’t great.

Nowadays, his rivalry with Pakistan paceman Shaheen Shah Afridi is a hot topic for the media and avid India-Pakistan cricket fans. There was also a time when Rohit’s battle with the speedster Mohammad Amir was also famous among cricket fans. Both Pakistan pacers have troubled the India veteran a few times with their fiery pace bowling.

In August 2023, Rohit was asked about the toughest bowler he faced in the Pakistan team. Replying to the question, the 36-year-old gave a hilarious reply saying, “Pakistan team me sab achhe hain. Main kisika naam nhi lunga bohot bada bada controversy hota hai. Ek ka naam lete hain toh doosre ko achha nahi lagta. Doosre ka naam lo toh teesre ko achha nhi lagta. Sab achhe players hain,” (All players are good in the Pakistan team. I won’t take anyone's name. It creates big controversy. If I take one player's name, the second feels bad. If I take the second player's name, the third feels bad. All players are good).

9. 'Where is Rishabh Pant', reply to the media during the 2019 World Cup

In the 2019 World Cup, Rohit looked in a great rhythm with his bat. During the competition, he delivered a lot of match-winning knocks to Team India. Appearing in nine matches in the competition, he notched up 648 runs with five tons and a fifty. With these numbers, he ended up as the leading run-getter in the tournament.

After Shikhar Dhawan got ruled out of the tournament, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/rishabh-pant/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rishabh Pant</a> was drafted into India’s 15-member squad to replace the southpaw. In the match against England in Edgbaston, Pant broke into India’s playing XI. Playing the crucial game against the hosts, the wicketkeeper batter batted at number four and scored 32 off 29 while chasing a mammoth total of 338.

After the match, Rohit attended a press conference and a journalist asked him, “With 146 for two, were you surprised to see Rishabh Pant emerging out of the pavilion because that poor fellow had not even played one match and Hardik (Pandya) was obviously the man in form?”

Answering the reporter, Rohit said, “Not really because you all guys wanted Rishabh Pant to play right? You all guys right from India, you all questioned asking, ‘Where is Rishabh Pant?’ There he is at number four.” Rohit’s response to the journalist won his colleague Hardik Pandya’s heart as the all-rounder dropped in the comment section, “Roo at his best.”

In November 2019, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-teams/bangladesh/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bangladesh</a> toured India for three T20 Internationals (T20Is) and a couple of Tests. Rohit Sharma got a chance to captain India in the T20I series as the regular skipper Virat Kohli was rested for the competition. After facing a seven-wicket defeat in the first T20I, India took on the visitors in the next match again at the Saurashtra Cricket Association (SCA) Stadium, Rajkot.

In the do-or-die game, the Men in Blue hammered the Bangla side by eight wickets. Rohit led the team from the front and made a vital contribution of 85 off 43 in the spectacular win. During the match, when Bangladesh batters Litton Das and Soumya Sarkar were attacking Indian bowlers, Rohit was seen using expletives.

After the match, Rohit talked about his activity in the post-match presentation and said, "I'm quite an emotional guy on the field. Some of the decisions in the previous and some of the on-field moments today, we were a bit sloppy. Ultimately aim is to get the job done, and sometimes we display a lot of emotions. Next time I'll check where the camera is."

7. Reply on spin-friendly surfaces during India versus England Test Series 2020-21

<img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/featureimage/India-vs-England.jpg" alt="India vs England" loading="lazy"><figcaption>India vs England. (Photo Source: BCCI)</figcaption>

In 2021, when England toured India, the visitors registered a 227-run victory over the hosts in the opening Test at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai. Following that defeat, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-previews/asia-cup-2023-super-4-match-6-india-vs-bangladesh-preview-5671/" title="India" target="_blank" rel="noopener">India</a> confronted England again in the second Test at the same venue. Taking advantage of being the hosts, India turned the Chennai pitch into a turning surface that proved lethal for England batters.

Riding on superb bowling performances from Ravichandran Ashwin and Axar Patel, India hit back on England in the series with their massive 317-run win. Rohit also notched up 161 runs from his bat in this win. After India’s sensational success, former players Mark Waugh and Michael Vaughan criticised groundsmen for creating a spin-friendly track. Vaughan also stated that the surface didn’t deserve to host a Test match.

Before the third Test of the series in Ahmedabad, Rohit was asked about the criticism of the pitch during a virtual press conference. Replying to the question, Rohit said that the pitch is the same for both sides but he doesn’t understand why the topic is raised every time. He also added that the home advantage isn’t a new thing in international cricket.&nbsp;

"The pitch is the same for both teams, so I don't know why there is so much discussion about it. Pitches have been prepared like this in India for years." "Every side takes advantage of home conditions even when we travel. When we travel they (opponents) make our life difficult.

"We need to go with our team's preference. That's the meaning of home advantage, otherwise, just take it away and the ICC should come up with a uniform rule everywhere for pitches. When we go abroad, people make our life difficult.

6. 'Yeh pagalpanti nahi karte hum', reply to a reporter while answering about the batting position

Prior to the 2023 Asia Cup, India captain Rohit and the chief selector <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/ajit-agarkar/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ajit Agarkar</a> announced India’s squad for the continental tournament through a press conference. The duo was asked several questions from the media on the crucial occasion. In the important meeting with the press, Rohit was questioned about concerns regarding the number four batting spot.

Replying to the query, Rohit said he isn’t worried about batting positions as he expects his players to be flexible. Following Rohit’s answer, a journalist asked if this meant that players hadn’t been told about their particular role in the team and if this led to confusion in the side.

The dashing India opener gave clarity about the flexibility saying, “When we first came into the team our positions (also used to change). You take a look at my positions over the years. We all have had to do that when we were young. That is the kind of flexibility I am talking about. Yeh nahi ki ye opener hai isko 8 number pe bhej do aur 8 number wale ko upar kara do. Yeh paagalpanti nai karte hum. (It doesn't mean that you send an opener to bat at No.8 and a No.8 is promoted to the top of the order. We don't do these kinds of nonsensical things).”

5. Trolling cameraman in the 2023 Border-Gavaskar Trophy

In February 2023, the<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/cricket-australia-makes-neck-guards-compulsory-for-domestic-and-international-players/" title=" Australia " target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Australia</a> cricket team toured India for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2022-23. Playing the first Test, India took a 223-run lead in the first innings. With the heavy lead, Indian bowlers looked confident as they showed five Australia batters way to the pavilion at a score of 52.

The fifth scalp Peter Handscomb fell to Ravichandran Ashwin, getting dismissed through leg-by-wicket (lbw) at his individual score of six. India's captain took the Decision Review System (DRS) to dismiss the right-handed Aussie batter as the umpire had rejected Ashwin’s appeal.

During the review process, the cameraman showed Rohit on the big screen instead of showing the action for which the DRS was taken. Rohit got frustrated seeing himself on the screen and vented out his anger on the cameraman saying, "Abe mujhe kya dikha raha hai, udhar dikha na.” He also used a cuss word against the cameraperson.

4. Outclassing wife Ritika Sajdeh while playing table tennis

Rohit led <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/mi-mumbai-indians/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mumbai Indians</a> (MI) from the front in the 2017 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) and won the record third title for his team. During their remarkable campaign under Rohit, Mumbai vanquished Delhi Daredevils by 146 runs (now Delhi Capitals) in match 45 played at the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium (now Arun Jaitley Stadium).

Following the enormous victory, Rohit took to the social media site Instagram and posted his video in which he is seen playing table tennis with his wife Ritika Sajdeh. The MI captain had turned a table tennis coach for his wife, who is also his agent.

While teaching tennis to Ritika, Rohit outmanoeuvred her with a smash and scored a point. Rohit’s shot left him and his wife in splits. The MI veteran’s TT video with his spouse garnered more than 96000 likes on Instagram.&nbsp;

3. Trolling Rishabh Pant on Instagram in a conversation with Jasprit Bumrah

In 2020, when Coronavirus terrorised the world, cricket also came to a halt. All cricketing events got cancelled due to the spread of the deadly virus. During this time, cricketers were mostly seen spending time with their families at their homes to defeat the lethal virus reigning around the world.

However, cricket fans got regular updates of their favourite players through social media sites. During the first phase of the lockdown in 2020, Rohit and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/jasprit-bumrah/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jasprit Bumrah</a> went live on Instagram. Both India stalwarts engaged in a healthy chat that tickled a lot of Indian cricket team supporters.

During the chat, the Indian speedster told his MI captain that Rishabh Pant wanted to challenge him to see who could smash the biggest maximum between these two. Replying to Bumrah, Rohit hilariously said, “Mere sath usko karna hai? ek saal hua nahi usko cricket khelke, chhakke ka competition kar raha hai (He wants to compete against me? He has played cricket for hardly a year and wants to have a competition).”

2. Hilarious answer to a reporter when asked about celebrating MS Dhoni's birthday

<img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/featureimage/2017/07/MS-Dhoni-1.jpg" alt="MS Dhoni" loading="lazy"><figcaption>MS Dhoni celebrates his birthday. (Photo Source: Instagram)</figcaption>

Former India skipper MS Dhoni played a vital role in Rohit’s success. Back in 2013, when the right-handed batter was struggling to take his career forward, Dhoni instilled confidence in Rohit and asked him not to be scared of criticism and failure. The legendary wicketkeeper batter also promoted Rohit as an opener in the side.

In the 2019 World Cup, Rohit ended up as the leading run-getter with 648 runs in nine matches. After the final league match against <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-teams/sri-lanka/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sri Lanka</a> in the marquee event, Rohit attended a press conference and a journalist asked the opener about plans for Dhoni’s 38th birthday.&nbsp;

Replying to the journalist, Rohit showed his humorous side saying, &nbsp;"Kya bolun yaar, birthday mein kya bola jaata hai, Happy Birthday (What should I say, what do we say on birthdays, Happy Birthday)." He also added, "Abhi travel day hai kal, hume pata nahi hai ki Manchester jaa rahe hain, ya Birmingham, to bus mein hi aake cutting karenge, photo voto bhejenge aap logon ko (Tomorrow is a travel day, we don't know yet if we are going to Manchester or Birmingham, but the cake-cutting will take place on the bus, we'll send the photos to you guys)."

1. Reply to a journalist on suggestions for Pakistan batters

During the 2019 World Cup in England and Wales, Rohit gave another witty moment to Indian cricket team fans with his press conference after the match against Pakistan at the Old Trafford Cricket Ground. In the high-octane game, the India opener played a scintillating 140-run knock off 113 deliveries.

Riding on his excellent knock, the Men in Blue won the high-voltage match comfortably by 89 runs (Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method) and continued their winning streak against the arch-rivals. Rohit received the Player of the Match for his extraordinary batting effort.

After the game, a Pakistani journalist asked the star India player in the post-match conference what advice he would like to give to <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/social-tracker-cricket/-momin-saqibs-crosses-path-with-suryakumar-yadav/" title="Pakistan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pakistan</a> batters who were struggling to showcase their best in the tournament. Giving a hilarious reply to the journalist, Rohit said that he would give them advice if he became Pakistan’s coach.&nbsp;

“Agar main Pakistan ka coach bana toh main bataunga, abhi kya bataunga. (If I become the Pakistan coach, I will tell them, what can I say now!)”

The current India skipper, Rohit Sharma, is an excellent competitor on the field. Serving India since 2007 in international cricket, the stylish opener has won a lot for the team. While serving the side on the field, he gives nightmares to the opponents but off-field, he is known for his outspoken and humorous behaviour.
The veteran India opener has won the hearts of his fans on numerous occasions with his straightforward attitude. His outspoken nature helps him to counter the critics of the Indian team through the media. Talking about his entertaining side it sometimes sparks laughter riots among the people around him.

In 2020, when Coronavirus terrorised the world, cricket also came to a halt. All cricketing events got cancelled due to the spread of the deadly virus. During this time, cricketers were mostly seen spending time with their families at their homes to defeat the lethal virus reigning around the world.
However, cricket fans got regular updates of their favourite players through social media sites. During the first phase of the lockdown in 2020, Rohit and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/jasprit-bumrah/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jasprit Bumrah</a> went live on Instagram. Both India stalwarts engaged in a healthy chat that tickled a lot of Indian cricket team supporters.
During the chat, the Indian speedster told his MI captain that Rishabh Pant wanted to challenge him to see who could smash the biggest maximum between these two. Replying to Bumrah, Rohit hilariously said, “Mere sath usko karna hai? ek saal hua nahi usko cricket khelke, chhakke ka competition kar raha hai (He wants to compete against me? He has played cricket for hardly a year and wants to have a competition).”

Former India skipper MS Dhoni played a vital role in Rohit’s success. Back in 2013, when the right-handed batter was struggling to take his career forward, Dhoni instilled confidence in Rohit and asked him not to be scared of criticism and failure. The legendary wicketkeeper batter also promoted Rohit as an opener in the side.
In the 2019 World Cup, Rohit ended up as the leading run-getter with 648 runs in nine matches. After the final league match against <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-teams/sri-lanka/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sri Lanka</a> in the marquee event, Rohit attended a press conference and a journalist asked the opener about plans for Dhoni’s 38th birthday.&nbsp;
Replying to the journalist, Rohit showed his humorous side saying, &nbsp;"Kya bolun yaar, birthday mein kya bola jaata hai, Happy Birthday (What should I say, what do we say on birthdays, Happy Birthday)." He also added, "Abhi travel day hai kal, hume pata nahi hai ki Manchester jaa rahe hain, ya Birmingham, to bus mein hi aake cutting karenge, photo voto bhejenge aap logon ko (Tomorrow is a travel day, we don't know yet if we are going to Manchester or Birmingham, but the cake-cutting will take place on the bus, we'll send the photos to you guys)."

During the 2019 World Cup in England and Wales, Rohit gave another witty moment to Indian cricket team fans with his press conference after the match against Pakistan at the Old Trafford Cricket Ground. In the high-octane game, the India opener played a scintillating 140-run knock off 113 deliveries.
Riding on his excellent knock, the Men in Blue won the high-voltage match comfortably by 89 runs (Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method) and continued their winning streak against the arch-rivals. Rohit received the Player of the Match for his extraordinary batting effort.
After the game, a Pakistani journalist asked the star India player in the post-match conference what advice he would like to give to <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/social-tracker-cricket/-momin-saqibs-crosses-path-with-suryakumar-yadav/" title="Pakistan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pakistan</a> batters who were struggling to showcase their best in the tournament. Giving a hilarious reply to the journalist, Rohit said that he would give them advice if he became Pakistan’s coach.&nbsp;
“Agar main Pakistan ka coach bana toh main bataunga, abhi kya bataunga. (If I become the Pakistan coach, I will tell them, what can I say now!)”

The current India skipper, Rohit Sharma, is an excellent competitor on the field. Serving India since 2007 in international cricket, the stylish opener has won a lot for the team. While serving the side on the field, he gives nightmares to the opponents but off-field, he is known for his outspoken and humorous behaviour.
The veteran India opener has won the hearts of his fans on numerous occasions with his straightforward attitude. His outspoken nature helps him to counter the critics of the Indian team through the media. Talking about his entertaining side it sometimes sparks laughter riots among the people around him.
<h3>Here are Rohit Sharma’s 10 thug life moments&nbsp;</h3>
<h3>10. 'Bohot controversy hota hai', when asked about the toughest bowler in Pakistan</h3>
<figure class="image"><img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/1694273065776_Rohit-Sharma-and-Shaheen-Shah-Afridi.jpeg" alt="Rohit Sharma and Shaheen Shah Afridi" loading="lazy">

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/ravichandran-ashwin-reveals-virat-kohli-calling-rohit-sharma-a-captains-nightmare/" title="Rohit Sharma" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rohit Sharma</a>&nbsp;is one such player in the current Indian team who has played a decent number of matches against Pakistan. In One-Day Internationals (ODIs), he holds an incredible batting record against the Men in Green while in T20 Internationals (T20Is), his numbers aren’t great.
Nowadays, his rivalry with Pakistan paceman Shaheen Shah Afridi is a hot topic for the media and avid India-Pakistan cricket fans. There was also a time when Rohit’s battle with the speedster Mohammad Amir was also famous among cricket fans. Both Pakistan pacers have troubled the India veteran a few times with their fiery pace bowling.
In August 2023, Rohit was asked about the toughest bowler he faced in the Pakistan team. Replying to the question, the 36-year-old gave a hilarious reply saying, “Pakistan team me sab achhe hain. Main kisika naam nhi lunga bohot bada bada controversy hota hai. Ek ka naam lete hain toh doosre ko achha nahi lagta. Doosre ka naam lo toh teesre ko achha nhi lagta. Sab achhe players hain,” (All players are good in the Pakistan team. I won’t take anyone's name. It creates big controversy. If I take one player's name, the second feels bad. If I take the second player's name, the third feels bad. All players are good).

<h3>9. 'Where is Rishabh Pant', reply to the media during the 2019 World Cup</h3>

</figure>
In the 2019 World Cup, Rohit looked in a great rhythm with his bat. During the competition, he delivered a lot of match-winning knocks to Team India. Appearing in nine matches in the competition, he notched up 648 runs with five tons and a fifty. With these numbers, he ended up as the leading run-getter in the tournament.
After Shikhar Dhawan got ruled out of the tournament, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/rishabh-pant/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rishabh Pant</a> was drafted into India’s 15-member squad to replace the southpaw. In the match against England in Edgbaston, Pant broke into India’s playing XI. Playing the crucial game against the hosts, the wicketkeeper batter batted at number four and scored 32 off 29 while chasing a mammoth total of 338.
After the match, Rohit attended a press conference and a journalist asked him, “With 146 for two, were you surprised to see Rishabh Pant emerging out of the pavilion because that poor fellow had not even played one match and Hardik (Pandya) was obviously the man in form?”
Answering the reporter, Rohit said, “Not really because you all guys wanted Rishabh Pant to play right? You all guys right from India, you all questioned asking, ‘Where is Rishabh Pant?’ There he is at number four.” Rohit’s response to the journalist won his colleague Hardik Pandya’s heart as the all-rounder dropped in the comment section, “Roo at his best.”

In November 2019, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-teams/bangladesh/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bangladesh</a> toured India for three T20 Internationals (T20Is) and a couple of Tests. Rohit Sharma got a chance to captain India in the T20I series as the regular skipper Virat Kohli was rested for the competition. After facing a seven-wicket defeat in the first T20I, India took on the visitors in the next match again at the Saurashtra Cricket Association (SCA) Stadium, Rajkot.
In the do-or-die game, the Men in Blue hammered the Bangla side by eight wickets. Rohit led the team from the front and made a vital contribution of 85 off 43 in the spectacular win. During the match, when Bangladesh batters Litton Das and Soumya Sarkar were attacking Indian bowlers, Rohit was seen using expletives.
After the match, Rohit talked about his activity in the post-match presentation and said, "I'm quite an emotional guy on the field. Some of the decisions in the previous and some of the on-field moments today, we were a bit sloppy. Ultimately aim is to get the job done, and sometimes we display a lot of emotions. Next time I'll check where the camera is."

<h3>7. Reply on spin-friendly surfaces during India versus England Test Series 2020-21</h3>

In 2021, when England toured India, the visitors registered a 227-run victory over the hosts in the opening Test at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai. Following that defeat, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-previews/asia-cup-2023-super-4-match-6-india-vs-bangladesh-preview-5671/" title="India" target="_blank" rel="noopener">India</a> confronted England again in the second Test at the same venue. Taking advantage of being the hosts, India turned the Chennai pitch into a turning surface that proved lethal for England batters.
Riding on superb bowling performances from Ravichandran Ashwin and Axar Patel, India hit back on England in the series with their massive 317-run win. Rohit also notched up 161 runs from his bat in this win. After India’s sensational success, former players Mark Waugh and Michael Vaughan criticised groundsmen for creating a spin-friendly track. Vaughan also stated that the surface didn’t deserve to host a Test match.
Before the third Test of the series in Ahmedabad, Rohit was asked about the criticism of the pitch during a virtual press conference. Replying to the question, Rohit said that the pitch is the same for both sides but he doesn’t understand why the topic is raised every time. He also added that the home advantage isn’t a new thing in international cricket.&nbsp;
"The pitch is the same for both teams, so I don't know why there is so much discussion about it. Pitches have been prepared like this in India for years." "Every side takes advantage of home conditions even when we travel. When we travel they (opponents) make our life difficult.
"We need to go with our team's preference. That's the meaning of home advantage, otherwise, just take it away and the ICC should come up with a uniform rule everywhere for pitches. When we go abroad, people make our life difficult.

<h3>6. 'Yeh pagalpanti nahi karte hum', reply to a reporter while answering about the batting position</h3>

Prior to the 2023 Asia Cup, India captain Rohit and the chief selector <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/ajit-agarkar/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ajit Agarkar</a> announced India’s squad for the continental tournament through a press conference. The duo was asked several questions from the media on the crucial occasion. In the important meeting with the press, Rohit was questioned about concerns regarding the number four batting spot.
Replying to the query, Rohit said he isn’t worried about batting positions as he expects his players to be flexible. Following Rohit’s answer, a journalist asked if this meant that players hadn’t been told about their particular role in the team and if this led to confusion in the side.
The dashing India opener gave clarity about the flexibility saying, “When we first came into the team our positions (also used to change). You take a look at my positions over the years. We all have had to do that when we were young. That is the kind of flexibility I am talking about. Yeh nahi ki ye opener hai isko 8 number pe bhej do aur 8 number wale ko upar kara do. Yeh paagalpanti nai karte hum. (It doesn't mean that you send an opener to bat at No.8 and a No.8 is promoted to the top of the order. We don't do these kinds of nonsensical things).”

In February 2023, the<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/cricket-australia-makes-neck-guards-compulsory-for-domestic-and-international-players/" title=" Australia " target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Australia</a> cricket team toured India for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2022-23. Playing the first Test, India took a 223-run lead in the first innings. With the heavy lead, Indian bowlers looked confident as they showed five Australia batters way to the pavilion at a score of 52.
The fifth scalp Peter Handscomb fell to Ravichandran Ashwin, getting dismissed through leg-by-wicket (lbw) at his individual score of six. India's captain took the Decision Review System (DRS) to dismiss the right-handed Aussie batter as the umpire had rejected Ashwin’s appeal.
During the review process, the cameraman showed Rohit on the big screen instead of showing the action for which the DRS was taken. Rohit got frustrated seeing himself on the screen and vented out his anger on the cameraman saying, "Abe mujhe kya dikha raha hai, udhar dikha na.” He also used a cuss word against the cameraperson.

Rohit led <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/mi-mumbai-indians/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mumbai Indians</a> (MI) from the front in the 2017 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) and won the record third title for his team. During their remarkable campaign under Rohit, Mumbai vanquished Delhi Daredevils by 146 runs (now Delhi Capitals) in match 45 played at the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium (now Arun Jaitley Stadium).
Following the enormous victory, Rohit took to the social media site Instagram and posted his video in which he is seen playing table tennis with his wife Ritika Sajdeh. The MI captain had turned a table tennis coach for his wife, who is also his agent.
While teaching tennis to Ritika, Rohit outmanoeuvred her with a smash and scored a point. Rohit’s shot left him and his wife in splits. The MI veteran’s TT video with his spouse garnered more than 96000 likes on Instagram.&nbsp;
