After their triumphant win in the Champions Trophy, Rohit and his family were seen soaking up the sun on a beautiful vacation in the Maldives. The Indian captain took to social media to share breathtaking photos from a lavish beachside resort, celebrating the vibrant festival of Holi.

Looking ahead to their IPL opener this Sunday at Chepauk, the Mumbai Indians are set to go head-to-head with the Chennai Super Kings. However, there’s a cloud hanging over MI with the news that India’s star bowler, Jasprit Bumrah, is sidelined due to a persistent back injury. His absence has been a significant blow, as he has already missed a good chunk of the year.

It seems likely that Bumrah will be out for the early part of the IPL season, leaving MI without their ace wicket-taker. This situation will push the team management to come up with creative strategies to fill the gap left by his absence.
