Rohit Sharma has obliged fellow cricketers before, having previously signed Delhi Capitals’ Avesh Khan’s jersey as well. The Mumbai Indians skipper encounters many rivals in the IPL format that happen to be admirers when they take to the same side in the international realm, with Sakariya being the latest addition to the camp.

The Sharma-led side saw a comfortable victory with Quinton de Kock’s 70 not out declaring an official halt to their two-match losing streak. While the skipper himself came up with a paltry 14 runs, batsmen Krunal Pandya (39) and Kieron Pollard (16) managed to round up the total to assist de Kock in their victory.
