MUMBAI: Mumbai Indians (MI) team owner Nita Ambani had a wholesome exchange with the franchise’s star batter Rohit Sharma, lauding his fitness transformation over the last few months.
Nita had come to meet the squad ahead of their Indian Premier League (IPL) campaign opener against three-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) scheduled for Sunday.
In the video posted on MI’s official X handle, Nita was heard saying, “My god, Rohit, I did not recognise you! You look like a young boy”.
Over the last few months, Rohit has transformed his health, looking more fit and lean.
In response, Rohit could not help himself, but just smile. Following his retirement from Test cricket in May last year, Rohit put in a lot of work on his physical fitness in order to keep his 2027 ICC Cricket World Cup dream alive. Having missed the trophy by inches following a heart-wrenching loss during the 2023 final at Ahmedabad, the Hitman, who will turn 39 next month, will be aiming to finally achieve the elusive trophy and go out with on a high following the 2027 World Cup, to be held in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia.
