The fourth day of the Bengaluru Test match witnessed a lighthearted encounter between India's captain, Rohit Sharma, and an enthusiastic fan of the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). This humorous exchange has captivated the internet and highlights the passionate nature of cricket fans. The fan, seated in the stands, seized the opportunity as Rohit walked off the field towards the dressing room to ask him about his future IPL plans. The conversation, caught on the stump mic, has since gone viral, showcasing Rohit's signature wit and the fan's endearing request.
The fan, brimming with enthusiasm, directly addressed Rohit, inquiring, 'Rohit bhai, which team in IPL?' Rohit, ever the sport, responded by asking the fan, 'Which one do you want?' The fan, without hesitation, declared, 'RCB mein ajao yaar… love you bhai.' This playful exchange, showcasing both the fan's desire to see Rohit in RCB colours and Rohit's good-natured response, has resonated with fans across social media. The incident serves as a reminder of the close relationship between players and fans, particularly in a sport like cricket, where passion and emotions run high.
While the incident was purely lighthearted, it sheds light on the ongoing speculation regarding Rohit's future with the Mumbai Indians. Recent reports suggest that Mumbai Indians are set to retain Rohit Sharma for IPL 2025, despite reports of a potential rift between him and Hardik Pandya following the captaincy change. However, Rohit's choice remains open, as he can opt out of the retention and participate in the upcoming mega auction. Alongside Rohit, the Mumbai Indians are also reportedly planning to retain Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, and Suryakumar Yadav, solidifying their core squad for the next IPL season.
