Although he now plays for CSK, Harbhajan Singh and Rohit Sharma were in the same team as the likes of Sachin Tendulkar and Ricky Ponting when Mumbai Indians won their first IPL title in 2013. Harbhajan and Rohit, in a recent Instagram live session together, revisited memories of playing together and winning three titles with Mumbai Indians. However, Harbhajan feels CSK has a better dressing room atmosphere and philosophy than MI, being completely different from each other.

While Harbhajan mended his relationship with former rival Ricky Ponting at MI, the Mumbai Indians captain spoke on the former Australia captain's influence on him and Mumbai Indians during his stint with the franchise. Rohit Sharma said being with him and how he handled the team in the first six games in the 2013 season and even before that was commendable. He added that Ponting was the first one to arrive in India, much before any other domestic player also. One could see his passion and energy. He wanted to feel the team, he wanted to come and understand each and everybody.
