IPL 2024: Sachin Tendulkar presents Rohit with special kit for record appearance in Mumbai Indians' colours
It was a monumental evening for Mumbai Indians’ Rohit Sharma on Wednesday (Mar 27) as he became the first player from the franchise to appear in 200 Indian Premier League (IPL) matches. To mark the special occasion, Rohit was presented with a special kit numbered ‘200’ by legendary batter and former Mumbai Indians’ captain Sachin Tendulkar at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. The appearance against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) also saw him become just the third player after Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni to record the feat for a single franchise.

Captain Hardik Pandya, coach Kieron Pollard and Lasith Malinga were also seen greeting Rohit on the occasion. The stadium also has a special place in Rohit’s heart, having played for Deccan Chargers at the same venue.
