Rohit Sharma is India’s official ambassador for La Liga and has been used in their promotional content on many occasions. So it wasn’t much of a surprise when the India captain revealed in an interaction that former Real Madrid star Zinedine Zidane is his favorite footballer. The Frenchman also opened up about his experience when he saw an El Clasico match between Barcelona and Real Madrid in 2020. Speaking to ANI, he said: “I would say live, I went to El Clasico in 2020, just before COVID hit. We were there in Madrid to watch the Real Madrid and Barcelona game. So that was until now my best memory of La Liga. I want to create more memories with La Liga, but now because we play so many matches, and there are so many restrictions at the moment. I can’t travel there and experience it.”
Rohit is currently with Mumbai Indians (MI), who are currently engaged in the current Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season.
Rohit and Mumbai have not started the ongoing campaign well and have yet to win a match.
So far, Mumbai has played two matches and lost both matches.
