We are roughly a week away from the start of the much-awaited cash-rich Indian Premier League and the excitement on social media is palpable.
Rishabh Pant, who is making a comeback to competitive cricket, roasted India captain Rohit Sharma in a viral ad video. In the video, Pant stops Rohit from entering a bus. Pant informs Rohit that he is getting on the wrong bus. This video captures the mood of the event that is coming up soon.
Sharing the clip on social space, Pant tagged Rohit and tendered an apology for his gesture in the ad. Pant’s tweet read: “Sorry @ImRo45 bhai but team alag hai aur dosti alag hai kyunki #TeamSeBadaKuchNahi.”
Admitted that he is excited and nervous at the same time over his comeback, Pant said it feels like he is debuting again.
“I’m excited and nervous at the same time. It feels like I’m going to make my debut again,” Pant said in the media release issued by the Delhi Capitals.
“To be able to play cricket again after everything I’ve been through is nothing short of a miracle. I’m grateful to all my well-wishers and fans, and most importantly, the BCCI and staff at NCA. All their love and support continue to give me immense strength.”
On the other hand, Rohit, who will not be leading the Mumbai Indians side, will still be one of the premier batters of the side.
