Indian Premier League (IPL) has many fans worldwide and even big actors and other artists also follow the league quite closely. In a recent episode on Shubhankar Mishra's YouTube podcast, Bollywood actors Riteish Deshmukh and Saqib Saleem revealed their favourite cricketers and who they enjoy watching more. Mumbai boy Riteish is a die-hard Mumbai Indians (MI) fan, and when asked about Mumbai's King, he gave a clear answer which wasn't very surprising. 

In the video, he clearly stated that "Hardik Pandya is the captain, but the King is Rohit Sharma." This isn't the feeling and emotion of just Riteish, but the entire Mumbai people who still believe Rohit is their captain and will always be. 

After everything Rohit has done for MI in the last 10 years, it speaks volumes about the respect he gets from his fans. When Hardik was given the captaincy, nobody was ready to accept it and he got badly trolled by the fans in the entire two months of the IPL 2024. Now that Hardik's performance was good during the World Cup, people have come to terms with the transition that happened in the Mumbai Indians. 

India's tour of Sri Lanka starts today

India have finally reached Sri Lanka to play the 3-match T20I series in Palekele. With Gautam Gambhir as the new head coach and Suryakumar Yadav as the new captain, the Indian team is there to rule the T2- cricket. SKY is given the opportunity to prove his worth as a captain and a player in this series. 

If India wins the series, it will be a huge confidence boost for the players and the captain, as the Board has shown a lot of confidence in him. SKY is one of the best T20 players in India, but he hasn't been consistent with his form, and now is the time when he can work hard and prove to the critics that he's a good pick for the captaincy role.
