Rohit Sharma joins Virat Kohli and David Warner in elite IPL list during MI vs DC match

Former Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma achieved a significant milestone during the ongoing Delhi Capitals (DC) match in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. Rohit Sharma joined the elite batting charts alongside Virat Kohli and David Warner, highlighting his prowess and contribution.

Delhi Capitals (DC) skipper Rishabh Pant chose to bowl after winning the toss at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday, April 7. Explosive middle-order batter Suryakumar Yadav returned to the Mumbai Indians lineup after missing the first three matches of the ongoing tournament.

MI openers Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan adopted an aggressive approach after being asked to bat first. The duo reached 75/0 by the end of the powerplay. However, the former Mumbai skipper fell short of his well-deserved half-century during the match against the Delhi Capitals.

Rohit's aggressive innings concluded at 49 runs from 27 deliveries, falling just one run short of his half-century, which included six boundaries and three sixes. Left-arm spinner Axar Patel dismissed him, providing a crucial breakthrough for his team in the first over after the powerplay.

Everyone Gets A Single Room Nowadays - Rohit Sharma

During an entertaining segment with comedian Kapil Sharma, Rohit Sharma revealed the two teammates he would prefer not to room with. Rohit humorously explained that Shikhar Dhawan and Rishabh Pant's messy habits and late mornings make them unsuitable roommates.

“Everyone gets a single room nowadays. But if I get a chance to share a single room, there are two people with whom I wouldn’t want to share rooms with – Shikhar Dhawan and Rishabh Pant. Bade gande hai (They are very messy). After practice, they just toss their clothes on the bed,” said Rohit.

“Their room is always on DND because they sleep till 1PM. The housekeeping staff that comes in the morning to clean their rooms, so it’s important for them to put their rooms on DND. Otherwise, they will barge in. That’s why their rooms often stay messy for three to four days. It becomes a problem for the people staying around them. So, I don’t think I will be able to stay with them,” Rohit added.
