Bollywood actors Riteish Deshmukh and Saqib Saleem recently answered many questions in a podcast. Meanwhile, when Shubhankar Mishra asked a question on the ongoing debate between Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya in his YouTube podcast, Riteish gave an answer that fans might not have expected.

Shubhankar asked who holds the title of “Mumbai ka Raja” between Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya. Riteish Deshmukh answered this question by saying that even though Hardik Pandya is the current captain of Mumbai Indians, Rohit Sharma will always be considered the real king of Mumbai. However, before answering this question, Riteish also called Sachin Tendulkar the king of Mumbai.

Talking about Rohit Sharma, he retired from T20I cricket along with Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja after leading India to a historic T20 World Cup win. Hardik Pandya was expected to replace him as the T20I captain. However, Suryakumar Yadav was made the new T20I captain for the Sri Lanka tour starting July 27 after Gautam Gambhir was appointed head coach by the BCCI.

The first match of the three-match T20 series between India and Sri Lanka will be played on Saturday, July 27 at the Pallekele International Stadium. So far, 23 T20 International matches have been played at the Pallekele ground, out of which 12 have been won by the team defending the runs. 8 matches have also been won here while chasing runs. The team batting first on this ground would like to score at least 170 runs because the average score of the first innings here is 168 runs. Also know that the Pallekele ground has helped the batsmen a lot and the average score of the first innings here has been 263 runs.
