As Rohit walked in, Shardul, known for his playful nature, cheekily declared, "Rohit Sharma ek hi jan ko milne aata hai ground me - The Lord."
Rohit, amused, responded with a grin, "Khudko 'The Lord' bol raha hain."
Without missing a beat, Shardul quipped, "Aur kya? Tune hi rakha hai naam."
Rohit then turned to Zaheer, greeting him with a warm hug, "Mr Khan, how are you man?"
WATCH:
The MI-LSG encounter on Friday is a crucial one, with both teams struggling to find consistency after winning just one of their three matches. MI, under Hardik Pandya, have grappled with form issues, particularly in batting. While Ryan Rickelton impressed in their win over KKR, Rohit Sharma's lack of big scores and the absence of Jasprit Bumrah remain concerns.
LSG, just below MI in the standings, have relied on Nicholas Pooran's explosive batting, with Mitchell Marsh providing support. Shardul and Ravi Bishnoi, though, will need to step up with the ball.
With LSG dominating their head-to-head record (5-1), MI will be eager to turn the tide.
