Rohit Sharma Requests Cameraperson to stop Recording Sounds 'ek audio ne to mera waat laga diya hain'

Rohit Sharma Requests Cameraperson to stop Recording Sounds ‘ek audio ne to mera waat laga diya hain’: MI’s former skipper Rohit Sharma was spotted in high spirits before his team’s last IPl league match against LSG at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on May 17, 2024.

Just before the 2024 Indian Premier League season, Hardik Pandya, a transfer from Gujarat Titans, was named the new captain of MI, replacing Rohit Sharma.

There have been rumors of discontent in the MI camp since this decision, and some have even suggested that the squad may have cliques.

A video that appeared before the KKR vs. MI game at Eden Gardens stoked rumors about the purported strife.

When Rohit Sharma was speaking with KKR coach Abhishek Nayar in the video, he seemed to be hinting that there had been a lot of changes in the MI camp.

Rohit can be heard saying: “Ek ek cheez change ho raha hai…. Woh unke upar hai, main ye sab pe dhyaan nahi data… (Everything is changing one by one. It depends on them, I don’t care about that). Jo bhi hai woh mera ghar hai bhai, woh temple jo hai na maine banwaya hai. (Whatever it is, it’s my home. It’s a temple that I’ve built). Bhai mera kya, mera toh last hai (Anyway, this is my last).”

Pitch Report:

The surface in Hyderabad is usually a batting surface, which also has the effect of dew. However, it is also good for batters. Bowlers do have some assistance, as the pacers get some early swing, and the spinners can get some turn. The temperature is likely to be around 29°C on the match day with 59% humidity and 7 km/h wind speed. There are 38% chances of precipitation during the game.
