'Rohit Sharma Is Living A Kid's Dream': Ex-India Star Gives Cheeky 'Impact Player' Take

Former Indian cricket team batter Aakash Chopra gave a cheeky take on Rohit Sharma featuring as Impact Player for Mumbai Indians during the IPL 2025 encounter against Lucknow Super Giants on Sunday. Rohit has played every match for MI as Impact Player with the veteran cricketer not featuring as a fielder for his side. On Sunday, Rohit opened the innings for MI and just before the mid-innings break, he was replaced by Jasprit Bumrah on the field. Chopra said that it is generally kids' dream to bat and not bowl - something that Rohit Sharma has been 'living' during this edition of the tournament.

"Rohit Sharma will not be fielding anymore. In fact, I was reading somewhere that it is the dream of kids to bat and not bowl at all. Rohit Sharma is living that dream. He comes as an impact player, scores run and Jasprit Bumrah has now taken his place on the field," he said on commentary.

After registering win against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), Mumbai Indians (MI) skipper Hardik Pandya heaped praise on debutant Corbin Bosch following his exceptional all-round performance in the match on Sunday at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

On his IPL debut, Corbin played a vital knock of 20 runs from 10 balls at a strike rate of 200 which came with the help of two fours and a six. He also snapped one wicket while bowling in the second innings wheere he conceded just 26 runs in his spell of four overs.

"The momentum which we had, we are carrying it forward. Everyone is clicking. The kids created the atmosphere for us, we did it for them, so very glad. Everyone kept taking their chances. The way Bosch came in and smashed those sixes, everyone chipped in. The bowlers were spot on. Good teams are made of the same, when everyone chips in. From
