Indian Premier League (IPL) side Mumbai Indians on Wednesday uploaded an Instagram that won the hearts of many. In the
clip, Sammy, daughter of batsman Rohit Sharma and his wife Ritika Sajdeh, is
seen being equipped with a rather oversized helmet.
The clip was loved by netizens, as it got a total of
1,451,133 views and 521,475 likes within five hours of being posted.
Rohit Sharma is heard saying, “You look like a
wicketkeeper”, while Sajdeh asks, “While you’re wearing this, show me how dada
hits a six?”, to which she gladly obliges, flinging her arms wide and imitating
hitting a pull shot.

Catching on the wicket keeper remark, Sajdeh immediately asks
the child if she looks like ‘Rishabh chachu’ (Rishabh uncle) while wearing it,
as well as taking it off and asking her if she could recognise the logo.
She apparently does, as Sammy is seen saying ‘Mumbai Indians!’
in a tone that makes both her parents laugh out loud.

“From a mini pull-shot to an MI cheer chant Sammy’s #IPL2021
plan is ready”, the Mumbai Indians handle captioned the video on Instagram.
The team will start their IPL 2021 journey on April 9, as
they look to take on Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).
Rohit Sharma joined the squad on Monday, after completing
the India vs England One-Day-International series, which the hosts won in the
deciding match.
