Chants of 'Rohit! Rohit!' were heard at the Rajiv Gandhi stadium in Hyderabad, heavily packed by the Orange Army, during the match between the Mumbai Indians and the SunRisers Hyderabad on Wednesday, March 27, 2024.
And Rohit reciprocated the fan love as he came out all guns blazing, smashing three sixes and one four before getting dismissed by Pat Cummins for 26 off 12 balls.
MI eventually fell short of SRH's mammoth score by 31 runs, but Rohit's fans couldn't be contained in a stadium that was drenched in an orange hue...
