Former Mumbai Indians (MI) captain and current Team India skipper Rohit Sharma was spotted jokingly requesting cameraman to mute the audio. Rohit's apparently urged the cameraman to not record his chat with his friends and former teammate Dhawal Kulkarni ahead of MI's clash against LSG.
This incident came days after a casual conversation between Rohit Sharma and Abhishek Nayar went viral before a match between Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders. While Rohit didn't mention names in that video, many suspected he was venting about the Mumbai Indians' current situation. The Kolkata Knight Riders initially posted the video but later took it down.
Rohit was heard telling KKR's assistant coach Abhishek Nayar:
"Ek ek cheez change ho raha hai... . Woh unke upar hai, main ye sab pe dhyaan nahi data... (Everything is changing one by one. It depends on them, I don't care about that). Jo bhi hai woh mera ghar hai bhai, woh temple jo hai na maine banwaya hai. (Whatever it is, it's my home. It's a temple that I've built)".
Learning from experience, Rohit Sharma took steps to prevent another audio leak. Spotting the camera filming his chat with Kulkarni, Rohit politely turned to the cameraman and, with folded hands, requested, "Bhai, audio band karo, ek audio ne mera watt laga diya" (Brother, turn off the audio, one audio has already caused me trouble).
