Aakash Chopra's "Trollers" Dig At Ex-Cricketer Amid Alleged 'No-Hit' Remark At Rohit Sharma

Since the start of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023, Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma has struggled for form. With just one half-century to his name in 10 matches, Rohit has arguably been the most out-of-form batter for the franchise.

Srikkanth, while doing commentary on the MI vs CSK match, had allegedly said: "Not Hit Sharma". Rohit Sharma should change his name to 'NO HIT SHARMA', I will not even play him in XI if I was Captain of MI," as quoted by News 18.
