Rohit Sharma’s hilarious reaction to Amit Mishra’s age: ‘What 40…you made debut when we were in nappies?’

In the day and age of T20 cricket, with it’s many twists and turns, few things are as constant as the unfiltered version of Rohit Sharma during pre and post-match chats. Despite a defeat against Lucknow, in the midst of a poor season, the former MI skipper was at his blunt best during a chat with leg-spinner Amit Mishra in Lucknow on Tuesday.

In a recently released video by the Lucknow Super Giants on the social media, Rohit is seen chatting with the LSG spinner about his age in his typical Mumbai idiolect. The matter of conjecture? Mishra’s age.

“What 40? Mere se teen saal bade ho aap (You are three years elder to me),” Rohit is heard telling the leggie before the latter replies, “I’m 41.”

Furthermore, the Indian skipper goes on to comically suggest, “You made debut when we were in our nappies? You made your debut then? When you were 20?”

To this, Mishra raises his hands before responding, Is it my fault?”

Mishra had made his debut for India back in 2003, four years before Rohit made his international debut. The Haryana leg-spinner had marked his first domestic appearance back in 2000.

In the all-time IPL wicket taking tally, Mishra stands fifth with 174 scalps from 162 matches. Having snapped seven wickets for LSG last season, making a big mark as an Impact Player, Mishra has a wicket to the name this season – against Rajasthan.

On Tuesday, while wasn’t part of LSG’s playing XI, Rohit failed to make a mark with the bat as he was removed by Mohsin Khan early in the powerplay. The hosts eventually wrapped up a 145-run chase with four wickets in hand.

While Lucknow now sit third in the points table, MI remain stuck at ninth with only three wins from 10 matches.
