India's star opener Rohit Sharma took time out of his busy international schedule to visit the Mumbai team as they aim to end a trophy drought in the Ranji Trophy final against defending champions Vidarbha. Still basking in the glory of the T20I series win over England, Rohit addressed the Mumbai players for 20 valuable minutes at the iconic Wankhede Stadium. Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar was also present to support his home state in their quest for a first Ranji title since 2015-16.
Rohit's motivational words were a huge boost for Mumbai as they seek to bring domestic cricket's biggest prize back to the city that never sleeps. The MCA granted special permission for the India captain's meeting with the team, recognising the positive impact his presence could have on the players before taking on the in-form Vidarbha. Mumbai have endured a barren run in recent years but will draw inspiration from Rohit and Sachin's backing as they battle to etch their names into Ranji Trophy folklore.
