Mumbai, Mar 19: India skipper Rohit Sharma on Monday joined the Mumbai Indians (MI) training camp ahead of the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. The Mumbai-based franchise took to their official X (formerly Twitter) account and shared a clip of the former MI skipper joining the squad.“WOH AA GAYA… RO AA GAYA,” MI wrote on X while sharing the video.
In November last year, Pandya moved back from Gujarat Titans (GT) to his former franchise as part of a trade between both franchises. The star all-rounder spent two years with GT, spearheading their campaign in the cash-rich league with aplomb. In GT’s debut season in 2022, Hardik got them off to a fairytale start, with the team lifting the coveted trophy.
The 17th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) will start from March 22, with defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) set to clash with Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in a South Indian derby at MA Chidambaram Stadium. Last year’s runners-up Gujarat Titans and five-time champions Mumbai Indians will square off against each other in a mouth-watering clash on March 24 at Ahmedabad. The fixture has gained a lot of hype because of star all-rounder Pandya’s move to his former franchise MI following two great seasons with GT. Shubman Gill has taken over the captaincy of GT.
