Viral Dressing Room Speech ofRohit Sharma'after Maiden IPL 2024 Win
The Mumbai Indians registered their first win of the 2024 season of Indian Premier League, beating the Delhi Capitals by 33 runs at Wankhede on Sunday. While it was Hardik Pandya's first win as the captain of the Mumbai franchise, it was his predecessor Rohit Sharma who laid the foundation for the result with a brilliant 27-ball 49. Though Rohit missed out on a half-century, he received a special award in the Mumbai Indians dressing room by coach Mark Boucher for his pivotal knock.
After receiving the award, Rohit also gave a speech, highlighting the effort the team put into the match as a unit, and put a whopping total of 234/5 on the board.
Mark Boucher said that, Ro, we are going to give the award to you as you are the senior statesman in the batting line-up.
A surprised Rohit Sharma gave a cheeky smile before being given the pin by Kieron Pollard.
Rohit Sharma: "I thought it was a wonderful batting performance. It's something that we've all been striving for from game one. Goes to show that individual performances don't matter if the whole batting group can stand up and put their hand up. If we look at the team's goal, we can achieve that kind of a total.

"It is something that we've been talking about for a long time. It's something that the batting coach (Pollard), Mark (Boucher) and the captain (Hardik) want. Wonderful to see that, like you said, long may that continue."
