MUMBAI: The thirteenth edition of the Indian Premier League is witnessing huge fan banter which inspired the #KhelBolega campaign, launched by Star Sports in tandem with BCCI recently. 

One of the big conversation points amongst fans was that Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians has only won the IPL in even number years. In response to banter, Rohit has now joined the conversation, putting an end to the odd or even conundrum.

In a new TVC launched by Star Sports & BCCI, Mumbai Indians’ captain Rohit Sharma is seen talking to his superstitious Mama Ji (Uncle) about the 'odd-even' theory. The uncle in the TVC is constantly trying to change the odd-numbered things around Rohit and make them even-numbered. He explains to his uncle, it’s the 13th year of the IPL, and the number 13 is an odd number, hinting that there is nothing to be worried about.

The four-time champions have one of the most vociferous fan bases, known to wear their emotions on their sleeves. The response of their dynamic captain has helped to quell the curiosity of the fans of the Mumbai Indians to a large extent that is now waiting for the 13th season of the IPL to commence.
