Irfan Pathan added that when he saw him during the 2013 Champions Trophy where the 'Hitman' was made to open the batting for the first time, he was amazed by how the current limited-overs vice-captain would bat at ease at the nets when everyone else was struggling in England.

Indian opener Rohit Sharma recalled the crowd's reaction after India defeated Australia in the semifinal of the T20 World Cup 2007.

Long before he was roped in by Mumbai Indians, Rohit had recorded his only career hat-trick against the franchise in the second season of the tournament.
