In the lead-up to a match against Kolkata Knight Riders, Rohit Sharma, known for his friendly rapport with young cricketers, engaged in a light-hearted exchange with Mumbai Indians’ Tilak Varma. This interaction highlighted Rohit’s playful side, as he revived his famous ‘garden me ghoomega’ remark, a reference to a previous instance where he used the phrase to urge players to put in more effort on the field.
Rohit’s relationship with emerging talents in the Indian team has been positive since he took over the captaincy in 2021. Despite the traditional hierarchy between senior and junior players, Rohit has created a supportive environment for young cricketers to thrive.
The viral conversation
During the pre-match preparations, Rohit noticed Tilak wearing sandals and jokingly asked, “Aye hero, kya kar raha hai bhai? Chappal mein ghum raha hai, garden me aaya hai kya? (Hey hero, what are you doing? Wandering around in sandals, have you come to the garden?)”
Tilak responded cleverly, “Hai na bhaiya, Eden Gardens (Yes, it’s Eden Gardens!)”, in reference to the iconic cricket stadium.
This banter between Rohit and Tilak not only showcases the camaraderie within the Mumbai Indians camp but also reflects Rohit’s ability to maintain a light-hearted atmosphere even during challenging times, such as MI’s tough season in the IPL. As Mumbai Indians play for pride in their remaining matches, Rohit’s jovial nature and camaraderie with young players continue to be a source of positivity for the team.
