Rohit Sharma, celebrated for his clever wit, once again showcased his comedic charm. With the Mumbai Indians (MI) preparing for their imminent Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the historic Eden Gardens, a light-hearted video starring Sharma and budding batter Tilak Varma is making waves across social media.
Rohit Sharma’s light-hearted teasing of Tilak Varma
The social media account of Mumbai Indians posted a video in which Varma was spotted wearing slippers at the stadium. Capitalizing on the chance for some light-hearted banter, Rohit quipped, “Ay Hero, Kya kar raha hai bhai? Chappal mein kyu ghoom raha hai? Kya garden mein aya hai kya?”
Varma, in a jovial mood, responded with a punchline of his own, saying, “Garden hi to hai! Eden Gardens!”
Here is the video:

Beginning of Rohit’s ‘Garden me aaya hai kya’ remark
During the recent Test series versus England, Rohit showcased remarkable leadership in the face of obstacles arising from player absences, whether due to injuries or personal obligations. His rapport with the younger players shone brightly throughout the series, evident in their collective performance on the field. In a memorable instance, Rohit, motivating his team to intensify their efforts, humorously remarked that they had not come to stroll in a garden. This quip, “Garden me ghoomne nahi aaye,” quickly gained traction across various social media platforms.
Mumbai Indians eliminated from playoffs race
Under the leadership of their new captain, Hardik Pandya, MI unfortunately became the first team to be eliminated from the playoffs contention in IPL 2024. Out of the 12 matches they have played thus far, MI have only managed to win 4. Looking ahead, they are determined to secure victories in their upcoming matches against KKR at Eden Gardens and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at Wankhede Stadium.
