Mir picked up four wickets in the match and one of those wickets was the big one of Rohit Sharma. However, he didn't celebrate the wicket despite knowing that it defined his cricket career.
After the end of the day's play, Umar Nazir Mir spoke about his plans to bowl to a big player like Rohit. The 6'4" fast bowler claims to be a fan of Rohit which is the reason why he didn't celebrate his wicket.
"The first thought in my mind was, I did not celebrate, as a fan of Rohit Sharma. I know he is something, even though I dismissed him. I am a big fan of Rohit Sharma," he added.

Umar further claimed that it would be a big moment for his team if they managed to beat Mumbai because of the presence of India's captain and international stars in the opposition.
"There was some help from the surface, I tried to bowl in right areas. Rohit Sharma is a big name and his wicket was important for us and for me, personally, as well," he noted.
Tough outing for Rohit Sharma
Meanwhile, it was a tough return for Rohit to domestic cricket. The Indian captain returned to domestic cricket after nine years but failed to gain form. In the second innings of this match, he looked impressive for a while but couldn't get a big score and was dismissed for 28 off 34 balls.
After India's dismal outing in Australia, the BCCI brought out a set of rules that made it compulsory for international players to be available for domestic cricket whenever they are not playing for India. The rule prompted a no. of Indian internationals to play in this round of the Ranji Trophy.
