Popular English singer, Ed Sheeran, is currently in India. Performing in Mumbai in his Mathematics tour. Returning to India after seven years, he met with many Indian celebrities and famous personalities, including the Indian captain.
Gaurav Kapur, a popular actor and TV presenter known for his work in the IPL and his show “Breakfast with Champions,” uploaded photos of him, Ed Sheeran and Rohit Sharma. He captioned the post with, “What’s cooking here?”. The three were seated in a cafe, where they posed for one picture and had candid shots of them conversing.
Sheeran was also trying his hand at cricket with Indian star Shubman Gill and comedian Tanmay Bhat. Meanwhile Sharma has just come from winning the Test series against England, with the score line of 4-1. He was also present in the Wankhede Stadium when Mumbai beat Vidarbha to clinch their 42nd Ranji Trophy title.
Aaron Finch believes taking captaincy away from Rohit Sharma would give him freedom
For the first time in 11 years, Rohit Sharma will not be captaining Mumbai Indians. He was replaced by Hardik Pandya, who just returned from Gujarat Titans. While many were unhappy with how Sharma was no more captain, Aaron Finch believes this will give the Indian captain more freedom while batting.
I think for Rohit, the challenge would be just walking out and opening the batting as he's done so many times for India and Mumbai over the years. This might be a wipe off for his shoulders. When you are captaining a team constantly, everywhere you go you are captain of the team. You can get engrossed a lot in that, so now having the freedom to walk out and bat will be beneficial for him personally and for Mumbai Indians. Aaron Finch on Star Sports
Mumbai Indians will play their first IPL match on 24th March, when they travel to the Narendra Modi Stadium to play Gujarat Titans. The aim of the team would be to win their first IPL title in over four years.
