When Rohit Sharma Met The Great Khali
The Great Khali no longer competes in professional wrestling and currently resides in India. On social media, he frequently posts interesting stuff, and he has gained popularity among online users. Fans’ responses to Khali’s posts are widely known to those who follow him on Instagram. Every time Khali publishes something, his followers leave amusing comments and make absurd requests.
Following the trend, Mumbai Indians’ Instagram photo was captioned, “Khali sir, front foot defense khelke ball duniya ke bahar maar do (Khali sir, smash the ball out of the world with front-foot defense).”
A fan anticipated that The Great Khali would see a short ball as a full-toss delivery given his height.
Another person asked Khali to referee the next match between India and Pakistan on his wide chest.
Other captains, besides only Rohit Sharma, also had the chance to speak with The Great Khali and had a good time. In the stands of the Ahmedabad stadium, they all took part in a picture opportunity with the coveted World Cup trophy. The cricketers gave Khali a commemorative t-shirt with the World Cup logo as a mark of respect. The ICC posted a video of the unique occasion on Instagram.
A replay of the 2019 World Cup final between England and New Zealand will serve as the tournament’s first match. According to prior rumors, the All Captains’ Meet event would get off with a glitzy opening ceremony on October 4 in Ahmedabad. Although, the ceremony never happened. According to a report from the Times of India, the World Cup’s opening ceremony never took place.
