Read More A dust storm that ravaged through the Delhi NCR on Friday evening also interrupted the Mumbai Indians’ practice session at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, with Rohit Sharma seen standing on the boundary lines and calling out the players and support staff to come back to safety. Mumbai posted a clip of the incident on social media as Deepak Chahar , Mahela Jayawardene and Lasith Malinga were seen running back to the dugout, with Rohit requesting everyone to come back. “Come back, come back", Rohit kept shouting with a big smile on his face.
Watch the video here: Rohit left the fans in splits as well with his funny reaction to the cameraperson. “Abey mera kya dekh raha hai, woh video le," he told the person behind the camera, pointing at the storm that made stuff flow around the stadium around the upper tier of the seats. A strong dust storm ripped through the city and its nearby areas on Friday evening, a day after another storm and moderate rain lashed parts of Delhi amidst a scorching heat wave, which had taken the temperature up to 40 degrees Celsius.
While there might still be some rain and storms on Saturday, April 12, in Delhi, the match day is expected to be clear. Mumbai will take on the Delhi Capitals on Sunday evening and there is no chance of rain during that time. Meanwhile, Mumbai have lost four of their five games till now in IPL 2025, but Jayawardene has ruled out making too many changes in the playing XI, saying he would back the senior players to come good.
Mumbai lost by 12 runs against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru at home on Monday. In the process, Bengaluru snapped their six-game winless streak at the Wankhede Stadium. While Jasprit Bumrah was tidy in his comeback spell, Rohit (17) flopped again and even Suryakumar Yadav struggled during his 26-ball innings for 28 runs in a stiff chase as it went haywire.
Jayawardene said that bringing in fresh faces into the eighth-placed Mumbai might not be the right approach as well..
