Members of the Mumbai Indians squad presently, Rohit Sharma and Yuvraj Singh have been India teammates for several years now. They are back together again for the Mumbai Indians and will look to seal their first championship together in the IPL. Meanwhile, it must be noted that Rohit Sharma is married to ‘muh-boli’ sister of Yuvraj Singh, Ritika Sajdeh.
Despite being teammates for a long time, the first meeting between the two Indian superstars wasn’t that great. Rohit Sharma revealed that the first impression he had of Yuvraj Singh wasn’t great but they finally managed to bond very well. Rohit further revealed that when he entered the Indian side, Yuvraj Singh was already a big name in international circuit and was a definition of attitude.
However, Yuvraj Singh was not ready to accept Rohit’s words and stated that he has a tendency of adding spice to the story of their first meeting. In a recent video posted by the Mumbai Indians on the Twitter handle, there were seen talking to each other which is part of a video campaign for the Mumbai Indians ahead of the much awaited final tomorrow which is slated to be played in Hyderabad.
The three-time IPL champions CSK and MI will again fight it out in the final of the Indian Premier League tomorrow. Meanwhile coming back to the story of Rohit Sharma and Yuvraj Singh, it was in a team bus when he first met Yuvraj Singh. He was sitting in a place where Yuvraj used to sit usually.
When Yuvraj entered the bus, he went up to Rohit Sharma and said, Tujhe pata hai ye kiski seat hai? (Do you know whose seat is this?)’. It was a bit intimidating for Rohit Sharma. However, he wasn’t surprised a lot as he knew that it was Yuvraj Singh who defined attitude for a whole generation.
Meanwhile, in another story, Rohit Sharma recalled when Yuvraj Singh asked him to stay away from Ritika Sajdeh, the current wife of Rohit Sharma. The MI skipper revealed his first meeting with his future wife during the web talk show ‘Breakfast with Champions’ with Gaurav Kapoor.
Ritika Sajdeh who is a sports manager at that time was managing Yuvraj Singh who is like his sister. Rohit Sharma recalling the incident said, “I was shooting with some senior members of the Indian team including Yuvraj Singh. When I met Yuvi in his trailer, Ritika was there. But Yuvraj told me straight away that Ritika was his sister and I should not even look at her.”
