We know him as a class batter in the middle irrespective of the format of the competition. He also known to destroy bowlers on his way to useful run gathering, a fine example of which one saw in the Mumbai Indians campaign opener the other day against the great Kolkata Knight Riders.

A quick fire half century, a fastest in terms of number of deliveries faced saw KKR kneeling under pressure and Mumbai away in terms of scoring with much gusto.

But beyond all of this, Rohit Sharma is also known to be a destroyer. A clinal smasher of the white ball and someone whose big hitting prowess lit up MI’s run chase with an electric start just a couple of days ago.

But other than that, Rohit Sharma is also known as a fun loving human being whose normal conversational style too turns into something funny or amusing, if one could put it like that.  

And recently his humourous best came to the fore in a Mumbai Indians promotional shoot with his fellow MI colleagues in attendance, Ryan Rickelton and Suryakumar Yadav.

While Suryakumar Yadav and Ryan Rickelton were seated during a Mumbai Indians promotional shoot amid the IPL, a light-hearted moment unfolded when Rohit Sharma tried twice to pop a party popper—only for it to malfunction. The failed attempts left everyone in splits.

The moment quickly became a highlight of the shoot, with the unexpected mishap adding a dose of spontaneity to the set. Rohit Sharma took the situation in stride, smiling through the failed attempts as Suryakumar Yadav and Ryan Rickelton, along with the crew, couldn’t hold back their laughter.
