In India’s illustrious cricket history, legends like Kapil Dev and MS Dhoni are true national treasures, having led the country to World Cup glory. Today, when talking about modern-day greats, Rohit Sharma undeniably stands at the forefront.
As the three big pillars of the Indian cricket team met at an event, their light-hearted moment grabbed attention. A humorous debate over who would cut the ribbon first had everyone laughing.
Indian cricket legends share a hilarious moment
Since retiring, fans have eagerly awaited even a glimpse of MS Dhoni and Kapil Dev, heroes who etched an eternal place in India’s cricketing heart with their World Cup triumphs. After them, Rohit Sharma followed their legacy. Even if it does not lead India to the World Cup glory, the former Indian skipper has become the fans’ own Hitman over time.
After stepping away from the T20I and Test formats, Rohit Sharma has set his sights on ODIs only. But in a recent event, Hitman met with World-Cup-winning captains like MS Dhoni and Kapil Dev. Fans are adoring the reunion of the legendary trio.
But drama ignited over a hilarious moment between them. As they were invited to a ribbon-cutting ceremony, Kapil Dev requested Hitman to step first, but he respectfully declined. Even as the 1983 World Cup-winning legend gently tugged him, Sharma chose to step back, leaving everyone laughing at the playful exchange.
MS Dhoni couldn’t hide his smile as fans laughed along at the trio’s playful antics. At the end, three former captains cut the ribbon together as the video of their playful banter captured fans’ hearts.
Hitman prepares for ODI comeback
After stepping away from the T20I last year and hanging up his boots from the longest format earlier this year, Rohit Sharma is set to focus only on the 50-over format. As he has set his eyes on the 2027 World Cup, he is preparing hard to make the cut to the marquee event.
Ahead of that, Team India will play their first-ever ODI match after the Champions Trophy in October 2025 against Australia. To keep the preparation top-notch, Hitman’s physical transformation has been outstanding. As he will step into the field in India’s jersey after a long time, fans are waiting for a ‘Hitman Show’ on Australian soil.
