One such moment, featuring the former Indian skipper Rohit Sharma, has gone viral, where the Mumbaikar is seen having a good laugh, thanks to a brilliant performance by a young Indian mimicry artist, Shaarang Shringarpure's mimicry of MS Dhoni.

Who is Shaarang Shringarpure?

Shaarang Shringarpure is a young Indian mimicry artist popularly known for his precision and humour in imitating cricketers and commentators. He has appeared in many cricket events and was recently seen at the 'Great Indian Kapil Show'.

When will Rohit play for India next?

While the fans enjoyed Rohit Sharma's wholesome off-field moments, they are still awaiting the star player's return to International cricket. 

Rohit last played for India in March in the Finals of the ICC Champions Trophy and was the 'Player of the Match' in that game. The Indian veteran will now play against Australia in a three-match ODI series starting on October 19.

It will also be Rohit's first game since losing his India ODI captaincy role after Shubman Gill was promoted to the role for the upcoming Australia tour.
