Hitman at the Wheel! Rohit Sharma Steers a Boat in Jamnagar
During a team bonding session in Jamnagar, Rohit Sharma took charge of a boat, steering it confidently while accompanied by young batter Tilak Varma and support staff members. The Mumbai Indians squad, struggling after a poor start in IPL 2025, used this break to regroup before their next game.
Rohit Sharma Captains the Boat
In a viral video making rounds on social media, the former MI captain was seen maneuvering the boat effortlessly. Known for his calm presence on the field, Sharma seemed equally at ease navigating the waters.
- The fun-filled session aimed to boost team morale after their disappointing defeat against Chennai Super Kings at Chepauk.
- Mumbai Indians had hoped for a strong start, but their batting lineup struggled on a slow Chennai pitch, failing to gain momentum.
Mumbai Indians Seek a Turnaround
With a few days remaining before their next clash against Gujarat Titans, the team used this downtime for team-building activities.
- This break provided an opportunity for players to reset and prepare mentally before resuming intense practice sessions.
- Rohit Sharma’s recent struggles continued as he fell for a duck in the opening game, dismissed once again by a left-arm pacer in Khaleel Ahmed.
Despite these setbacks, MI found positives in Deepak Chahar and debutant Vignesh Puthur, whose three-wicket haul signaled promise for the team’s bowling attack.
Hardik Pandya’s Return and Bumrah’s Uncertainty
Regular skipper Hardik Pandya, absent in the first game due to a one-match suspension, is set to return against Gujarat Titans.
- His presence will add stability to both the batting and bowling departments, providing a crucial boost to MI’s balance.
However, Jasprit Bumrah’s availability remains a lingering concern.
- While bowling coach Paras Mhambrey confirmed that Bumrah is progressing well, there is no official word on his return.
- The star pacer continues his rehabilitation at the BCCI Centre of Excellence, and his comeback could be a game-changer for MI’s season.
As Mumbai Indians gear up for their next fixture, they hope to bounce back stronger with Pandya’s return and a rejuvenated squad.
