Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants face off today at the Ekana Cricket Stadium. But before the match, a video surfaced of Rohit Sharma and Zaheer Khan chatting. Now, social media is buzzing. Some users think Mumbai Indians shared the video to tarnish Rohit’s image. Others are criticizing Rohit.
The video was shot during Mumbai Indians’ practice session. Rishabh Pant appears, and Rohit Sharma is seen talking to Zaheer Khan. Rohit says, “I’ve done what I had to, now I don’t need to do anything.” This sparked a frenzy online. Fans are speculating about what Rohit meant. Some think he was discussing his form, saying he doesn’t need to do anything now.
Mumbai Indians had replaced Rohit as captain with Hardik Pandya last year. Under Rohit’s captaincy, the team won five IPL titles. This season, Rohit’s performance has been underwhelming. He scored zero against CSK, eight against Gujarat Titans, and 13 against KKR. Mumbai Indians lost all three matches.
Reactions on social media
A Twitter post from Mumbai Indians’ official handle has fueled the controversy. The post includes a clip from the practice session with the hashtags #MumbaiIndians, #PlayLikeMumbai, #TATAIPL, and #LSGvMI. Fans are divided, with some defending Rohit and others criticizing him.

The controversy surrounding the video has added to the excitement of today’s match between Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants. Fans are eager to see how Rohit performs and how the team responds to the criticism.
