With the start of IPL 2025, all eyes are on the legendary players, including India’s ODI and Test captain Rohit Sharma, who is representing the Mumbai Indians. Fans are particularly focused on the “Hitman” after he recently led Team India to a Champions Trophy victory in Dubai, defeating New Zealand. Now, a video of Rohit Sharma’s batting gloves has gone viral, showing the letters ‘SAR’ written on them.
The video, posted by Mumbai Indians’ social media with the caption, “SAR 🤔 Any guesses, Paltan?” led to a flood of fan replies, with many suggesting that ‘SAR’ stands for Samaira, Ahaan, and Ritika – referring to Rohit’s daughter, son, and wife.
Days after the Champions Trophy win, Rohit and his family were seen vacationing in the Maldives. The Indian skipper shared pictures from a beachside resort on the festive occasion of Holi.
Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians are set to face Chennai Super Kings in their IPL opener on Sunday at the Chepauk. The absence of India’s bowling spearhead, Jasprit Bumrah, could be a major concern for MI, as the right-arm pacer continues his recovery from a back injury that has kept him sidelined for much of the year.
Bumrah is expected to miss the initial stages of this IPL season, and his absence will leave MI without their death-overs specialist, forcing the management to explore alternative strategies.
