Things nearly got a little awkward as both almost ended up kissing as Rohit turned around to see who was there.
Jaipur: It is no secret that Rohit Sharma shares a special bond with former New Zealand pacer Shane Bond. Both have played against each other and been part of the Mumbai Indians franchise as well in the IPL and hence it was no surprise to see the bromance between them when they met as oppositions ahead of Mumbai’s IPL clash with Rajasthan Royals at the Sawai Mansingh stadium in Jaipur on Monday. Things nearly got a little awkward as both almost ended up kissing as Rohit turned around to see who was there. The clip was shared by the MI social media handle and it is now going viral:

With the T20 World Cup around the corner, Rohit would like to fire tomorrow and help Mumbai to a win keeping their chances of making the playoff alive. He has scored 290 runs in seven games. They have played seven matches and won three and are currently placed in the seventh spot.
