Apart from being together in the Indian squad, Chahal and Sharma also played together for the Mumbai Indians. The legspinner got his big break in the Indian Premier League when he was picked up by MI in 2011. He stayed with the team till 2013, before moving to Royal Challengers Bangalore.

Chahal is with the Rajasthan Royals in the ongoing edition of the IPL and has performed brilliantly. The bowler is presently leading the list of Purple Cap contenders with 18 wickets to his name in eight matches.

As for Rohit Sharma, the Hitman has had a disappointing season so far in the tournament. The MI skipper has scored 153 runs in eight games, with an average of 19.13.

He registered an unwanted record to his name this season when he became the only batsman to have been dismissed for a duck 14 times in the history of the IPL.

MI, too, has failed to kick-start their campaign in the cash-rich league. The side is yet to register a victory and remains languishing at the bottom of the points table with eight successive losses.

Rohit Sharma’s MI will face off against Rajasthan Royals on 30 April at the DY Patil Stadium.
