Rohit Sharma Recalls Fan Incident, Praises Rishabh Pant's Humor

Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma recently shared his experience of a fan entering the field during their match against Rajasthan Royals at the Wankhede Stadium. Sharma revealed that he was initially startled by the incident but handled it calmly.

"I was setting up the field at the slips when this guy suddenly stood up next to me," Sharma said. "I was a little scared honestly."

The fan, who identified himself as a big fan, asked for a hug. Sharma obliged but warned him against such behavior in the future.

Sharma also spoke about his admiration for wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant, calling him "one crazy guy."

"He's the person who makes me laugh the most," Sharma said. "He's got his way of doing things which is what I like about him."

Sharma praised Pant's resilience after recovering from a serious accident last year.

"I was disappointed for him when he missed a year and a half because of that incident," Sharma said. "But I'm glad he's back on the field."

In the match against Chennai Super Kings, Sharma became the first Indian to smash 500 sixes in T20 cricket. He is now fourth on the all-time list behind Chris Gayle, Kieron Pollard, and Andre Russell.

In six matches this IPL season, Sharma has scored 261 runs at an average of 52.20 and a strike rate of over 167, including a century.
