Watch: When Rohit Sharma Couldn’t Stop Laughing at Deccan Chargers’ Anthem

Former Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma made a noteworthy appearance on the Club Prairie Fire podcast ahead of the much-anticipated IPL 2024 match between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Mumbai Indians (MI), slated as match number 33 of the season. In a candid conversation with hosts Adam Gilchrist and Michael Vaughan, the Hitman addressed various queries while also receiving a surprising blast from the past courtesy of Gilly himself.

One of the highlights of the podcast was Sharma’s intriguing stance on the potential return of former Indian skipper MS Dhoni for the T20 World Cup. While not completely ruling out the prospect, Sharma’s diplomatic response hinted at the complexities surrounding Dhoni’s potential comeback.

However, it was a moment of nostalgia that truly lit up the conversation when Adam Gilchrist played the iconic theme song of Deccan Chargers, the IPL franchise now known as Sunrisers Hyderabad. Sharma’s immediate reaction was a wide grin as he dubbed it the epitome of IPL theme songs.

“I think the Deccan Chargers song beats all the current IPL theme songs. I still remember how catchy it was,” Sharma recalled with a smile. The Deccan Chargers’ theme song had garnered widespread acclaim during its heyday, standing alongside the themes of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) as a beloved anthem among fans.

Sharma’s nostalgic nod to the Deccan Chargers’ anthem not only underscored his appreciation for the IPL’s rich history but also served as a delightful moment for cricket enthusiasts eagerly awaiting the PBKS vs MI showdown. As anticipation builds for the clash on the field, Sharma’s podcast appearance offered fans a unique glimpse into the mindset of one of cricket’s most revered figures.
