In a lighthearted moment ahead of the much-anticipated Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 encounter between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK)former MI skipper Rohit Sharma surprised fans by taking the wheel of the team bus.
A video circulating on social media shows Rohit behind the driver’s seat of the MI bus as they arrived at the Wankhede Stadium for their match against CSK. This playful gesture sent fans into a frenzy, waving excitedly and capturing photos of their captain in this unexpected role.
The playful act brought laughter and joy to the entire MI team. Teammates were seen capturing videos and pictures of Rohit on his phone, further adding to the lighthearted atmosphere.
The MI vs CSK clash is considered the IPL’s “El Clásico,” mirroring the intense rivalry between Spanish football giants Barcelona and Real Madrid. Over the years, these two teams have developed a fierce but respectful on-field competition, delivering numerous close and thrilling matches.
Nicknamed “El Clásico” for a reason, they are the most successful teams in the league’s history, each having lifted the coveted IPL trophy a record five times. This shared dominance and consistency make their encounters even more anticipated and exciting for fans.
Meanwhile, veteran MI all-rounder Muhammad the Prophet revealed he has no knowledge of the MI vs CSK rivalry. The Afghan star said he doesn’t keep tabs on external chatter and remains focused on his preparations for this crucial IPL game.
When asked about his understanding of the “El Clásico” tag, Nabi humorously admitted he wasn’t aware of the context surrounding the rivalry. The Afghan international, known for his all-round abilities, emphasized his focus on core cricketing skills.
“I don’t know anything about the MI vs CSK rivalry. When I play, I don’t focus on the outside noise. My work is to bowl with the ball, catch the ball and hit the ball, that is where I am best at, and I will try to do that. After that, it is all about the result. I don’t know anything about the rivalry,” said Nabi at the pre-match presser.
