Mumbai: Mumbai Indians (MI) skipper Rohit Sharma made a strong pitch for the conservation of the ‘Great One-Horned Rhinoceros’ during the opening match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), which the defending champions lost by two wickets in a last-ball thriller.
Rohit continued to use his shoes against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai Tuesday night. This time he wore shoes with a picture of a turtle (big turtle) in blue water, conveying plastic free seas.
