While Mumbai Indians (MI) will take on Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in Match 16 of IPL 2025 at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium B Ground, Rohit Sharma was seen sharing a series of interesting conversations with Shardul Thakur, Rishabh Pant, and Zaheer Khan. The moments, featured in a recent Mumbai Indians Instagram post, have become viral very soon.
The reunion started with Shardul Thakur, who playfully referred to himself as “The Lord.” Rohit, renowned for his sense of humor, couldn’t but chuckle at Shardul’s witty nature, and the two of them exchanged a light-hearted sparring that fans adored.

Soon afterwards, Rishabh Pant also stepped in unexpectedly, greeting Rohit warmly from behind. The two, who share a special understanding as a consequence of spending time with each other in the Indian squad, were seen smiling and exchanging a few greetings, raising expectations for the upcoming game.
The last reunion was with Zaheer Khan, the mentor of LSG. A one-time MI player and mentor, Zaheer brought with him a touch of nostalgia as he and Rohit exchanged a few words before they departed for their respective camps.
Since both MI and LSG are looking for their second win of the season, the match is extremely important. With a win that would turn tables around, this relaxed pre-match chat takes on added meaning as action on the field picks up momentum.
