The Delhi Capitals, known for their wit, recently paid homage to Rohit Sharma in a lighthearted Instagram video. Following India’s T20 World Cup triumph, a youthful squad headed to Zimbabwe for a five-match series, with Shubman Gill assuming captaincy duties after Rohit Sharma’s retirement from T20Is. Just ahead of the third match, Delhi Capitals posted a video featuring Rinku Singh, Shubman Gill, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, and Khaleel Ahmed, set to the melodious Bollywood tune “Udja Kale Kawan.” The caption playfully quipped, “Boys, when Rohit Sharma is not around.”
“Garden bhi gaye aur jhula bhi jhule, [visited the garden and enjoyed the swing],” Delhi Capitals’ latest Instagram post cleverly nods to Rohit Sharma’s memorable statement, “Garden me ghoomne nahi aaye,” made during a lighthearted moment in the second Test between India and England in Vizag earlier this year. The franchise’s caption humorously echoes Sharma’s sentiment, showcasing their knack for blending cricketing wit with pop culture references.
In the recent Delhi Capitals’ post, the video captures Shubman Gill, Avesh Khan, and Ravi Bishnoi lounging on a swing while Rinku Singh and Khaleel Ahmed assist them. The setting appears to be a wildlife sanctuary surrounded by giraffes, evoking smiles all around until Khaleel subtly exits the scene.
Fans couldn’t resist reacting to the playful post, with one humorously suggesting that Rohit Sharma might be on his way to Zimbabwe after seeing the video. The comment added a dash of amusement to the ongoing banter surrounding the youthful Indian squad’s adventures.
In the upcoming match, Team India aims to maintain their winning streak against Zimbabwe and secure another victory in the ongoing series. The third T20I clash is scheduled for Wednesday at the Harare Sports Club, where both teams will strive to gain the upper hand in this competitive encounter.
