Five-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians have once again spotlighted their team ethos through a heartfelt video featuring their former captain, Rohit Sharma, on their official social media channels. The video, aptly titled ‘Jo bhi hota hai, at the end of the day, you have to try to find a way to smile & be happy!‘, delves into Rohit’s personal philosophy on resilience, which has been a critical component of MI’s storied success.
In the footage, Rohit, also the captain of the Indian cricket team, underscores the paramount importance of maintaining an upbeat perspective, regardless of the match outcomes. ‘Smile, everybody smile, whether we lose, whether we win, we have to smile, we have to smile,’ he articulates, encapsulating the spirit that has long defined Mumbai Indians.
Expanding on his mantra, Rohit shares, ‘It’s a very simple line, but it means a lot. Jo bhi hota hai, at the end of the day, you have to try to find a way to smile, be happy, and find peace with it. That’s why, in MI, we always talk about moving on — whether we win or lose — because life doesn’t end here. After every low, the sun rises again. You wake up and find a way to fight another day.‘
Despite kicking off IPL 2025 with a narrow four-wicket defeat to Chennai Super Kings, Mumbai Indians are poised to channel this philosophy of resilience and renewal as they prepare to face Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad on Saturday. With Rohit’s message of positivity and perseverance at the forefront, MI aims to turn the tide in their upcoming match.
