While cricket stars flocked to the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai for the wedding of the season, former Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma attended the first men's semi-final at Wimbledon between Daniil Medvedev and Carlos Alcaraz at Centre Court on Friday.

'Welcome to #Wimbledon, Rohit Sharma,' the official Wimbledon X handle posted, sharing a picture of the cricketer who led India to the T20 World Cup title last fortnight.

The Ambanis owned Mumbai Indian IPL franchise replaced Rohit with Hardik Pandya as MI skipper before IPL 2024.
