New Delhi: Team India captain Rohit Sharma, who is currently with the Mumbai Indians (MI), in this up-and-running 2025 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), is getting to meet almost all of his India teammates on the sidelines of their upcoming fixture. Now that Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) host Mumbai on Friday, Rohit had a fun interaction with LSG skipper Rishabh Pant and all-rounder Shardul Thakur.
The former MI captain met with the LSG duo on the eve of the LSG vs MI clash at the Ekana Stadium, when the two teams were practicing, and as is prevalent nowadays, there were no signs of any rivalry between them. In fact, the two juniors met their seniors in a fun manner, with Pant grabbing him from behind and Shardul cracking a light-hearted joke and creating a chilled atmosphere.
Shardul, with his all-around heroics, has earned the moniker of a “Lord”. Netizens refer to him by this keyword only because of the skillset he brings to the table for his team, chipping in with the ball at crucial points and delivering breakthroughs. Shardul also comes in handy with the bat, giving the team that extra boost at last. On the other hand, Pant’s relationship with Rohit is well-versed as the two have shared a lot of time together in the Indian dressing room.
Ahead of the highly anticipated clash, videos of Rohit meeting with Pant and Shardul have gone viral as fans are loving these regular meetups of the players during their training sessions.

LSG and MI’s IPL 2025 campaign
LSG went off track with their recent loss against the Punjab Kings (PBKS), having beaten the dangerous Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the clash preceding it. In their opener, which was against the Delhi Capitals (DC), they endured a gut-wrenching loss by a wicket. Meanwhile, MI has been on the same page, having lost their first two games against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Gujarat Titans (GT), but got off the mark by beating Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).
It would be interesting to watch if Lucknow is able to bounce back or if Mumbai will continue their hardly earned winning momentum.
