Indian cricketer and Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma was involved in a hilarious Twitter exchange with his Indian Premier League (IPL) side ahead of the eleventh edition of the league.
Three-time champions Mumbai Indians posted a harmless post on social media which read: "Paltan, an exciting update is heading your way. Prepare yourself to welcome new faces in our team. Stay tuned! #CricketMeriJaan"

But it didn't end there as Rohit kept on persisting as to what was this all about. His post read: "I’ve checked my DMs. I am fine with these new faces and it’s really cool. But where are my bullets?"
