Without A Single Word, Rohit Sharma's Post On Mumbai Indians Says It All

MI also suffered from a major slum in form as they finished at the bottom of the IPL points table with just four wins from 14 matches. With the season coming to an end, Rohit Sharma took to social media to post pictures from the tournament with a small message.

Watch: Virat Kohli Kisses Faf Du Plessis After RCB Skipper Takes 'Superman' Catch vs CSK

Pat Cummins Reveals His Role In Jonny Bairstow's Controversial Dismissal In Ashes 2023

Australian skipper Pat Cummins opened up about his role in England batter Jonny Bairstow's controversial stumping during the second Ashes Test last year, which proved to be a turning point in the series, igniting England's motivation to bounce back from a scoreline of 0-2 to draw the series 2-2.
