Rohit Sharma, the Mumbai Indians (MI) captain, was left confused, stunned, and a whole lot more after a fan requested something bizarre from him.
Rohit-led MI will next face Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in their last IPL 2023 league stage game at the Wankhede Stadium. It's a must-win game for the home team and a defeat will see them crash out of the league stage once again.
If the outcomes of the other matches go their way, MI may also place in the top two. They have 14 points in their account with 7 victories from 13 games and an NRR of -0.128. They are presently ranked sixth in the points chart.
SRH has already exited the competition and is now trying to escape placing last. The Aiden Markram-led team is currently in last place in the points standings with 4 victories from 13 games. If SRH defeats MI, they will move up to ninth place.
The only team to date to qualify for the IPL 2023 Playoffs is Gujarat Titans. The current IPL Champions currently hold the top position in the points standings.
Meanwhile, in a viral video, Rohit Sharma can be seen walking towards a vehicle surrounded by security. A fan then comes near Rohit requesting a selfie and when Rohit shows inability, the fan hilariously asks the MI captain to plant a kiss on his cheeks by pointing his fingers at the area.
Rohit was visibly taken aback by the request of the fan and despite being stunned, asked the fan to move aside to let him go. The 36-year-old was surprised and his reaction said it all. The opening batsman quickly walked into the team bus.
