In a fun-filled video shared by Mumbai Indians on social media, a host is seen engaging the MI players in a 'letters game' where they have to draw an alphabet out of a box and then say the word that comes to their mind starting with the alphabet they picked.
For Bumrah 'M' stands for MS Dhoni, while for veteran legspinner Piyush Chawal it stands for 'Master Blaster'. Interestingly, players who drew alphabet 'R' said it stands for Rohit Sharma.
Meanwhile, the video starts with Rohit and Ishan the first to play the game with the host, and Rohit draws a 'G'. When asked what does it stand for, Rohit said: "Garden mei ghoomo mat (don't walk in the park) " and the trio burst into laughter.
The reference to 'garden' by Rohit had its roots in the famous incident during the India vs England Test series, where the stump microphone picked up Rohit warning the players "Agar koi garden mei ghoomta nazar aaya...", referring to players not being agile on the field.

The phrase gained instant popularity among cricket fans and even Rohit later posted an image on Instagram with teammates and titled it "Garden mein ghoomne wale ladke (the boys who walk in the park)".
The India captain was asked the same question on the comedy show hosted by Kapil Sharm and joking replied: "Hamare ladke sust murge hain (our boys are lazy chickens)."
