Former Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma gave fans another reason to be happy by temporarily taking on the role of a bus driver for his team, Mumbai Indians (MI). This playful act happened as the team returned from their practice session at the Wankhede Stadium as well. However, MI will play against their archrivals Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in an IPL 2024 encounter on April 14.
As Mumbai Indians were heading back to their hotel before the IPL match, Rohit Sharma decided to drive the team bus himself. Fans gathered outside were happy, capturing this unusual moment as cheers filled the air as well. Meanwhile, his teammates also enjoyed the scene as well.

Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians have not had a great season so far this season. Under Hardik Pandya, they lost three back-to-back matches before bouncing back to the winning way and won the last two games as well.

After their win in the last game, Hardik Pandya, MI captain said: “Always good to win. The way we have won – it’s quite impressive. Impact player has given the opportunity to use an extra bowler if we require. It gives me a cushion as well. At the same point, if someone is having a bad day, it helps us to cover those overs. The way Ro and Kishan batted, giving the platform, it was important for us to finish it early. We didn’t speak about it. That’s the beauty of this team, players know what the situation is. As soon as we saw the target get lesser, we thought we might as well finish it early for NRR. Blessed to have Bumrah in my side.”
“He does it over and over again. Any time I ask him to bowl, he comes and does what he does. He practices a lot. Before doing anything in the game, he makes sure he practices in the nets. The amount of experience and confidence he has is tremendous. I did tell him when he scored the fifty that welcome back (Surya). Always good to have Surya in your team with the areas he hits. I’ve been opposition captain as well against him, it’s tough to put field for him. Some place he hits, I’ve never seen batters hit there. (I’ll do) Whatever the situation requires – last game I had to take some time, and this game’s scenario was different. I’ve always been a fan of whatever the situation demands,” he concluded.
