For most people, another year is simply coming to an end. But for Stranger Things fans, it marks the close of nearly a decade-long emotional journey with their beloved Hawkins gang.
The shocking cliffhanger
ending of Stranger Things Season 5, Volume 1 has left fans buzzing with excitement like never before. However, the finish line is no longer far away, as the much-awaited Volume 2 of the hit Netflix series is just days away from its release.
Soon, viewers will see their favourite Hawkins heroes battling Vecna one last time in what promises to be a grand and emotional farewell to the fan-favourite show that has kept audiences hooked for five long seasons. As the series gears up for its final hunt, fans across the world can’t stop talking about it. Even Indian cricket star Rohit Sharma has joined the buzz, featuring in a new promo video for Stranger Things 5.
Rohit Sharma’s Features In Stranger Things 5 Volume 2 Promo
On Tuesday, Netflix dropped a new promo in which Rohit Sharma is seen gearing up for Stranger Things 5 Volume 2.
In the video, the Hitman is seen entering the locker room, where his entire team is grooving and relaxing. He is seen wearing jersey number 11 and advising them to get serious. He tells everyone, “Listen carefully. The finale is coming. Not just your career, your entire life could get flipped upside down.”
When one of his team members tries to stand up, he says, “Eh, tu baithe reh. Jab tak main bolu nahi, uth mat.”
He then goes on to tell his team about the “opposition” and its mind games. He says, “When the opposition plays serious mind games, no helmet is going to save you.”
One team member from the back teasingly says, “That’s why he hasn’t scored a double century in a while.”
Hearing this, Rohit turns around and says, “Listen, smart guy. I have only hit doubles so far. But the opposition can attack from anywhere, through the ground, the wall, or even the roof.”
Rohit Sharma Speaks About Vecna
Rohit even tells them that for the finale, a special kit has been designed by an expert. He unboxes the metal box in front of the team and says, “When their captains walk in, it’s not your heart that starts pounding, it’s your neck.”
When someone asks him who their opposition is, Sharma replies, “The same guy who lifts people up like kites, Vecna.”
“Get ready, boys. It’s time to straighten the Upside Down. Vecna, your fielding is set.”
