With Mumbai Indians aiming for a hat-trick of wins at home and seeking to hand Chennai Super Kings their third consecutive away loss, Rohit’s lighthearted gesture added a touch of excitement to the much-anticipated match dubbed as the ‘El Clasico’ of IPL 2024.
Mumbai Indians, currently seventh in the IPL standings with four points from five games, are eager to climb higher with Rohit Sharma’s leadership and their team’s collective effort on the field.
