‘Ro-wan >>> mahirat’ – Fans in awe of Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan as they share heartfelt moment at toss
The bond between Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma is known to all. The two stalwarts of the Indian cricket team have played a lot of cricket together, having opened the innings for many years. Their fun banter was witnessed during the toss ahead of the match between Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League 2023.
Winning the toss, Rohit Sharma decided to bat first at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali. He, however, jokingly said that he chose to bowl first at the advice of PBKS skipper Shikhar Dhawan. “Kya karun bata,” asked Rohit. To which, Dahwan replied, “Bowling kar le.”
When asked about his decision by commentator Anjum Chopra, Rohit stated, “I asked Shikhar Dhawan what to do. He said to bowl first, so we will bowl first. It’s a good pitch, we have chased down targets pretty well, so will stick to our strength. You always want to have a score in front of you on such pitches. It’s important to keep the balance, we have played enough IPL games, things can change quickly.”
As for the lineup changes, Rohit stated that Akash Madwal has taken the position of an injured Riley Meredith. “We have one change, Merdith is injured. Akash Madwal is in,” Rohit said.
