MULLANPUR (Punjab): Ahead of the clash against Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, former Mumbai Indians (MI) skipper Rohit Sharma had a hilarious moment with teammate Romario Shepherd when he came across a picture of himself as a 20-year-old, starting off for the Indian team.

Mumbai Indians took to social media platform X and posted a video with the caption, “Bholi si surat, aankhon mein masti… Jab Hitman met 20-year-old Ro today”.
