Rohit Sharma is currently busy playing for Mumbai Indians (MI) in the ongoing IPL. However, MI had a poor start to this year’s campaign as they lost their first two matches. In the last game against Delhi Capitals (DC), MI registered their first win of the season. They won the match by six wickets.

However, ahead of that clash, an image has gone viral where Rohit was seen in a funny avatar. Seeing that, fans went crazy and shared their views on social media.

After registering the first win in IPL 2023 against DC, Rohit Sharma was delighted and shared that it was a great feeling to cross the line finally. At the post-match presentation, Rohit said: “Obviously, winning the game is the most important thing and it's a great feeling to cross the line. We've been working really, really hard and we had camps in Mumbai a couple of weeks before the tournament. To get the result feels really good and we're going to cherish this. We recently played a Test match here and this pitch didn't look different to that and looked dry.” 

“So, I thought it was important to get the slower bowlers into the game quickly. We thought 173 was chaseable, and everyone put their hand up. When I went to bat, I wanted to make full use of the powerplay because as the game went on, I thought it would be tough with the couple of quality spinners they had. We tried to create a partnership and good to see Tilak bat with that intent as well. We always knew it would be tough for the new batter to come and bat. Like you said, we got a lot of young guys and it's all about giving them confidence and trust in their ability. We want to have a healthy atmosphere and we don't want to make drastic changes based on results,” Rohit Sharma concluded.
