On Thursday, Mumbai Indians also released a hilarious advertisement featuring their skipper Rohit Sharma.

However, the Mumbai paltan have lifted the trophy in 2013, 2015, 2017 and 2019 which are odd years and thus, many memes are doing rounds of social media that Rohit Sharma and Co will not be able to win the title as it is an even year. However, the skipper, who also shared the advertisement video, has ‘settled the debate’ and that too in a very interesting manner. IPL 2020 Schedule in IST.
