Rohit Sharma, captain of the Mumbai Indians, was AWOL from Thursday’s IPL captains’ shoot in Ahmedabad. Except for Rohit, all nine captains gathered at the Narendra Modi Stadium to pose with the trophy. The 35-year-old was reportedly ill and therefore decided against travelling. In the absence of Aiden Markram, Bhuvneshwar Kumar attended the captains’ meeting.
Wednesday in Mumbai, Rohit addressed MI’s pre-tournament media interaction. On the eve of the first match of the 2023 IPL season, all of the franchise captains congregated at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad for a special photo shoot with the trophy. However, Rohit’s absence drew supporters’ attention.
