Rohit Sharma Repeats “Garden Mein” Taunt, Mumbai Indians Star Gives Priceless Response. Watch
Having crashed out of the IPL 2024 playoffs race, five-time champions Mumbai Indians are playing for pride as they take on the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Eden Gardens on Saturday. MI’s season has been overshadowed by the controversial decision to replace Rohit Sharma with Hardik Pandya as the captain of the franchise. Rohit, who led MI to five IPL titles during his tenure, was removed as captain by the franchise after Hardik rejoined the side from Gujarat Titans (GT). However, the decision to remove Rohit sparked a huge uproar among the cricketing fraternity. Despite all of this, Rohit continues to give everything on and off the field. From helping Hardik in captaincy to grooming the young players, Rohit has managed to keep the dressing room together. Most importantly, Rohit’s camaraderie with the youngsters makes him stand out amongst his peers. In one such light hearted, Rohit was seen roasting MI and India youngster Tilak Varma. In a video uploaded by MI, Rohit poked fun at Tilak, who was wearing sliders on the eve of the match against KKR at Eden Gardens. During the Test series against England earlier this year, Rohit had caught the attention of the fans on social media with his “Garden me ghumega” one-liner. Rohit recreated the same moment with Tilak, who came up with a hilarious response to catch the MI icon off guard. “Aye hero, kya kar raha hai bhai? Chappal mein ghum raha hai, garden me aaya hai kya? (Aye hero, what are you doing? Wearing sliders, are you wandering in a garden?),” Rohit said in a video uploaded by MI. “Hai na bhaiya, Eden Gardens (Yes, it’s Eden Gardens!),” Tilak responded.
