"Hai mere paas" - Rohit Sharma's hilarious response as anchor passes him a mic during book launch post IPL 2025 [Watch]

Former Indian Test captain Rohit Sharma gave a hilarious response to the anchor at a book launch event post the IPL 2025 season. Rohit was recently present at the launch of 'The Diary of a Cricketer's Wife' by Cheteshwar Pujara's wife, Puja Pabari, in Mumbai.

During the event, the anchor asked Rohit Sharma a question and proceeded to pick up a mic to hand it over to the veteran. However, Rohit already had a mic with him and hilariously told the anchor the same.

"Hai, hai mere paas (I have it with me)," he said as the audience, along with the anchor and former cricket Anil Kumble (also present at the event) burst into laughter.
