Overview
- Mumbai Indians posted an official training video that shows Nita Ambani telling Rohit Sharma, “My God, I didn’t recognise you! You look like a young boy!”, which quickly went viral online.
- The interaction happened during a pre-season practice at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium and featured a playful moment where she introduced Kieron Pollard as “Polly Kaka.”
- Over the past year Sharma has slimmed down after stepping away from Tests and T20Is to focus on ODIs, and he now appears noticeably fitter.
- Mumbai Indians open against Kolkata Knight Riders at Wankhede, and Sharma needs 11 runs to pass David Warner for the most runs scored against KKR.
- Sharma enters the season as an IPL stalwart with 7,046 runs in 272 matches and 302 sixes, which ranks him second all-time in both runs and sixes.
