A man’s romantic proposal turned faux pas during an Indian Premier League match, leading to yet another viral video. The clash between Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders took place at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday and the incident took place on the same day. This was captured by the official Instagram handle of Kolkata Knight Riders.
In the now-viral video, a man wearing a Mumbai Indians jersey, holding a ring box, bends down to propose to his girlfriend, who is dressed in a Kolkata Knight Riders jersey. However, the ring slipped out of the box because he lost his balance. What was supposed to be a smooth proposal turns frantic and several fans join in the search for the ring. Many people gather around the couple to help and eventually the ring is found.
With the ring safely back in his hand, the man calms down and drops to one knee again to continue his proposal – this time everything goes smoothly.
The woman happily accepts and hugs him tightly as the crowd erupts into cheers.
Here’s how social media users reacted:
The video quickly went viral and drew heartwarming and hilarious reactions from social media users.
One user commented: “Bro is a real fan of Rohit Sharma – he even dropped his ring.”
Another wrote: “I’ll do the work when I do it.”
A third user joked: “MI won twice in one day.”
Another commented with a touch of sarcasm: “Bombay Knights.
Meanwhile, Ryan Rickelton and Rohit Sharma slammed quickfire fifties to hand Mumbai Indians a comfortable six-wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders. This marked Mumbai Indians’ first opening round win in 13 seasons.
Chasing 221, Rickelton (81 off 43 balls) and Rohit (78 off 38 balls) shared a brisk 148-run opening stand off just 71 balls to set the platform for victory. Mumbai Indians reached 224 for four in 19.1 overs, posting a record chase on their home ground.
While Rickelton hit four boundaries and eight sixes, Rohit’s knock was littered with six fours and as many sixes. Earlier, skipper Ajinkya Rahane scored a fine half-century while debutant Angkrish Raghuvanshi lit up the stadium with a 29-ball 51 to help Kolkata Knight Riders score 220 for four.
