Seriously, you need to start playing – Rohit Sharma

It isn’t a first time for Rohit Sharma, as he is previously known for pulling the legs of his teammates on social media. He had earlier trolled Yuzvendra Chahal and Rishabh Pant during his live chat on Instagram with Jasprit Bumrah.
The duo from Mumbai has played a lot of cricket together, at the first-class level and for India, and share a good bond. On the work front, Rohit Sharma had incredible time before lockdown for India in all formats of the game while Ajinkya Rahane continued his good run in Test form.
As far as the IPL is concerned, Rohit Sharma was once again set to lead the defending champions Mumbai Indians in IPL 2020 while Ajinkya Rahane was traded to Delhi Capitals by Rajasthan Royals.
