Despite the lack of context in the video, its timing amidst Mumbai Indians’ ongoing challenges is hard to overlook.

“Ek ek cheez change ho rha hai! Wo unke upar hai, Jo bhi hai wo mera ghar hai bhai, wo temple mene banwaya hai. Bhai mera kya, mera toh yeh last hai,” Rohit told Nayar in the short clip.

After resulting in chaos, the KKR team deleted the post but the video had already gone viral.

Ahead of team India’s T20 World Cup campaign next month, Rohit Sharma is looking to get back his form at his favorite venue, as he is currently struggling to score runs for his team during the IPL season.

The five-time champions, Mumbai Indians (MI), became the first team to be out of the playoff contention this IPL season, bagging only four matches out of 12 and finishing at bottom place for the second time in three years.
