and
Shikhar Dhawan

Just ahead of the match between Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians at Mullanpur on Thursday, Rohit and Dhawan met, sharing a warm hug.
The official broadcaster of the IPL shared a heart-warming video of the moment in which the two openers can be seen hugging, exchanging a few words, laughs and Rohit even doing a small jig.
Dhawan did not play the match due to injury, but his side ran pretty close and gave a scare to the five-time champions.
Chasing 193,
Ashutosh Sharma
smashed a 28-ball 61 almost pulling off a heist, but in the end Punjab lost by 9 runs.
With 3 wins from 7 games, Mumbai Indians rose to the seventh spot in the points table, while Punjab fell to the ninth spot with 2 victories from 7 matches.
