Robin Minz gets startled by robot dog Champak after RR vs MI match
The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 has been filled with thrilling matches, record-breaks, and hilarious moments. Amongst these, one peculiar incident has taken the internet by storm. Robin Minz, a popular cricket commentator, had a shocking encounter with a robot dog named ‘Champak’ after the Rajasthan Royals (RR) vs Mumbai Indians (MI) match. The incident occurred when Rohit Sharma, the star opener of the Mumbai Indians, jokingly told Minz to touch the robot dog, saying, “Jao na haath lagao usko.” Little did Minz know that he was in for a surprise.
For those who might not be aware, ‘Champak’ is a cutting-edge robot dog developed by a team of engineers and robotics experts. The robot dog is designed to mimic the movements and behaviors of a real dog, making it incredibly realistic. It’s no wonder that Rohit Sharma, known for his playful nature, couldn’t resist the temptation to play a prank on Minz.
As Minz approached the robot dog, seemingly unaware of its capabilities, ‘Champak’ suddenly leaped toward him, leaving him visibly scared. The video of the incident, which has gone viral on social media, shows Minz jumping back in surprise, his eyes wide with fear. The crowd around him erupted in laughter, and even Rohit Sharma couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight.
The incident has sparked a wave of reactions on social media, with many cricket fans and enthusiasts sharing their thoughts on the incident. While some have praised Rohit Sharma’s playful nature, others have expressed concern for Minz’s well-being, asking if he was indeed okay after the unexpected surprise.
The incident has also raised questions about the safety and responsibility of using advanced technology like robot dogs in public spaces. While ‘Champak’ is designed to be harmless, its sudden movement could potentially cause harm to someone who is not expecting it. It’s essential to consider the potential consequences of such technology and ensure that it is used responsibly.
In an exclusive interview with Free Press Journal, Robin Minz shared his thoughts on the incident. “I was completely caught off guard. I had no idea the robot dog was capable of moving like that. It was a genuine surprise, and I must admit, I was a bit scared. But Rohit Sharma’s prank was all in good humor, and I’m just glad no one was hurt.”
Rohit Sharma, on the other hand, has been quoted as saying, “I just wanted to have a bit of fun with Robin Minz. I knew the robot dog was advanced, but I didn’t think it would react like that. I’m glad everyone is laughing about it, and I hope Minz has forgiven me for the prank.”
The incident has also sparked a conversation about the role of technology in cricket and its potential to enhance the fan experience. While robot dogs like ‘Champak’ may not be a common sight at cricket matches, it’s clear that technology is playing an increasingly important role in the sport.
As the IPL 2025 continues, fans can expect more thrilling matches, record-breaks, and perhaps even more unexpected surprises like the one involving Robin Minz and ‘Champak’. For now, the incident has become a memorable moment in the history of the IPL, and we can’t wait to see what the rest of the tournament has in store for us.
