During the IPL 2024 match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Thursday, Rohit Sharma, the former captain of Mumbai Indians renowned for his on-field banter, once again drew attention to himself. This time, it was the aggressive batting display of Dinesh Karthik during the death overs that captured Rohit’s interest. Positioned at first slip while fielding, Rohit couldn’t resist injecting some humor into the intense contest as he teased the RCB batsman.
“World Cup ke selection ke liye push karna hai isko. Shabash DK. Dimag main chal raha hai iske World Cup. World Cup chal raha hai, World Cup,” Rohit quipped, alluding to the upcoming T20 World Cup scheduled in the USA and West Indies.
