The five-time champions Mumbai Indians had a losing start in yet another season of the Indian Premier League. The Rohit Sharma-led boys lost their first match against Royal Challengers Bangalore in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League. RCB outplayed MI by a massive margin of eight wickets in their tournament opener at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
In a recent line of events, skipper Rohit Sharma has attracted the headlines of social media as soon his photos of gym sessions started making rounds on social media. He joined the gym to prepare ahead of the marquee clash against Chennai Super Kings at Mumbai’s home ground Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
Furthermore, a section of Indian cricket fans immediately took to Twitter to troll Rohit Sharma for his fitness in international cricket. They came up with some interesting and hilarious tweets for the 35-year-old.
Here’s how fans reacted:
