Indian batting stalwart Rohit Sharma is enjoying his break from India duties after recently making his international return during the Australia tour. Rohit has been spending time with his family and relishing
moments with old friends and teammates.
On Thursday (November 6), the 38-year-old shared a hilarious clip of a prank he successfully pulled off on one of his former India and Mumbai teammates, Dhawal Kulkarni.
In the amusing video he posted on Instagram, Rohit stunned Kulkarni with a trick pen that gives a minor electric shock. Interestingly, he managed to dodge the prank himself.
At the beginning of the video, one of Rohit’s friends requests him for an autograph and gives him a pen.
Immediately suspicious over the sudden request and the design of the pen, Rohit declines and warns his friend in jest to watch out for what he does.

“Ro, can you give me an autograph?” the friend asks, to which Rohit inspects the pen and instantly recognises the prank. “This is not a pen,” he said. “Do you know what’s wrong with this? I’ll tell you now. I’ll use this on someone. Someone who is very, very special.”
Before proceeding to play his prank on Kulkarni, Rohit gave the pen with the electric shock to another one of his friends and burst out laughing when he pressed it and received the shock.
“What happened?” Rohit asked, to which his friend responded, “Hey, that’s what’s in it – shock.”
Then came Kulkarni’s turn.
The prank took place during a gym session with a few of Rohit’s domestic teammates, including fellow seamer Shardul Thakur.
Rohit asked someone to give the pen to Kulkarni and waited for the reaction.
As he checked the pen, Kulkarni received an electric shock and moved awkwardly.
Rohit then muttered something as Kulkarni clicked the pen again and received another shock, much to the amusement of the India and Mumbai Indians superstar.
Rohit ended the recent ODI series against Australia with a terrific hundred in Sydney, shutting his doubters after an extensive debate over his slipping form.
The limited-overs legend will be back in action with the three-match ODI series against South Africa, starting November 30.
