At a book launch ceremony following the IPL 2025 season, former Indian Test captain Rohit Sharma delivered a humorous response to the anchor. Rohit recently attended the Mumbai launch of Cheteshwar Pujara’s wife, Puja Pabari’s book ‘The Diary of a Cricketer’s Wife’.
During the ceremony, the anchor asked Rohit Sharma a question before picking up a microphone and handing it over to the veteran. However, Rohit already had a microphone with him and delightfully informed the anchor of this.
“Hai, hai mere paas (I have it with me),” he said as the audience, along with the anchor and former cricket Anil Kumble (also present at the event) burst into laughter.
