WATCH: Rohit Sharma reveals IPL secrets, rivalries, and defining season

The popularity of Rohit Sharma among cricket fans is undecayable, lifting the ICC T20 World Cup, perhaps his career's best moment. Now the right-handed batter, in his career's autumn days, is celebrated as a legend among parts of Indian cricket fans.

On social media platforms, an interaction session with Rohit Sharma, 5-time IPL-winning former captain of the Mumbai Indians, shared multiple unheard incidents and his personal beliefs from this career-long experience with the team and the Mumbai Indians. The video we are talking about, shared on social media, is a collage of a full-scale interview.

The 37-year-old batter said with his natural smile, "When I was new to the team, I put my bag aside in the dressing room and sat silently. But nowadays, a new player came into the dressing room and said, Turn on the music."

Admiring Sri Lankan cricket legend Lasith Malinga, Sharma said, "(Lasith) Malinga was fantastic in those days, especially with his slower ones. It was very difficult to hit Malinga with his slower deliveries. I want to hit maximum in his over. Before that it was clear to me that only a class, a class shot, can do this."

IPL 2020 is the most memorable IPL season for Rohit 

Like fans, Rohit Sharma himself enjoyed the duel between the Mumbai Indians and the Chennai Super Kings. "MI and CSK are the most successful teams in the Indian Premier League (IPL). He (MS Dhoni) has so much experience as captain, so against CSK, there was no chance for me to relax."

Like CSK, Mumbai Indians also lifted the IPL trophy five times, and all were under Sharma's leadership. But which one is more exciting for the former MI captain? "IPL 2020 was the best season for us. Lots of credit goes to the owners." In the recent past, IPL 2020 was the most exciting season of all. Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals were the toughest teams in that season to claim the trophy. But it was Rohit's Mumbai who won the tournament.
