MI are set to take on Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow on April 4. Ahead of the mouth-watering encounter, MI shared a video on Instagram, highlighting the bond between Rohit Sharma and LSG captain Rishabh Pant; however, what caught the attention of fans was Rohit's chat with Zaheer Khan.

Rohit's remark left netizens unimpressed, who felt that the former MI captain is no longer interested in performing well for the franchise.
