India’s ODI and Test captain Rohit Sharma was in a cheerful mood as he showed off his stylish dance moves while trying to bring Shreyas Iyer on stage. The fun-filled moment unfolded on Sunday, January 19, during the 50th anniversary celebrations of Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
Indian singer Shekhar Ravjiani was seen energizing the crowd and encouraging them to dance as he performed a song from the iconic Shah Rukh Khan movie ‘Om Shanti Om.’ At that moment, Rohit, standing alongside former India head coach Ravi Shastri, playfully tried to call Shreyas to the stage while showing off his own dance moves.
