Indian captain Rohit Sharma recently attended a promotional event ahead of IPL 2024. The fans present at the event went berserk when the 'Hitman' arrived in a new look, wearing a stylish cap.

Sharma has joined the Mumbai Indians (MI) squad for the IPL 2024 tournament. He is no longer the team's captain, but the star Indian batter continues to be an integral part of the squad. During a short break from the pre-season practice session, Sharma attended a promotional event for a brand he endorses.

This will be the first time since 2013 that Sharma will play under another player's captaincy for the Mumbai Indians. Ricky Ponting was the last man to lead MI in a match where Rohit was also present in the playing XI. This year, Hardik Pandya will lead the Mumbai Indians.

Mumbai Indians dropped Sharma as the team's captain, but he will likely open the batting for them in IPL 2024. The Hitman was in fantastic touch during the ICC ODI World Cup at home last year, scoring the second-highest runs (597). He also played some magnificent knocks in the recently concluded Anthony de Mello trophy against England, which formed part of the ICC World Test Championship.

Besides, Sharma scored a century in his last T20I match, which was against Afghanistan in January this year. MI will open their campaign against former champions Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday, 24 March.

It will be interesting to see how Sharma performs in his first game under Hardik Pandya's captaincy for the Mumbai Indians team.
