A video is going viral on social media, where Rohit can be seen giving some suggestions to Karn through hand signals while sitting in the dugout. After following Rohit’s advice, Karn changed the whole game. Let’s know the full story.
Rohit Sharma gave Gurumantra to Karn Sharma through gestures from the dugout
Rohit Sharma, who has made Mumbai Indians IPL champions five times, may not be shining with the bat this season, but he is still helping the team with his sharp cricket mind. His smart advice played a big role in Karn Sharma’s performance against the Delhi Capitals.
Rohit’s silent guidance turned the match
In the match against Delhi, Karn Sharma came in as an impact player and took three crucial wickets, helping Mumbai win by 12 runs. But the turning point came when Rohit, sitting in the dugout, gave Karn a key suggestion at the perfect time.
The moment when Rohit signaled to change the ball
This moment happened in the 14th over of Delhi’s innings. Rohit, while sitting in the dugout, signaled Karn to change the ball. According to the new IPL rule, the bowling team can request a ball change after 10 overs in night matches to balance the dew effect.
New ball, new twist — Karn strikes back
Following Rohit’s advice, Mumbai changed the ball. On the third ball with the new ball, Karn dismissed Naman Dheer. Just one over later, Karn sent KL Rahul back to the pavilion.
Delhi’s batting collapsed after Karn’s spell
At one stage, Delhi Capitals were scoring more than 11 runs per over. But after Karn’s breakthroughs, the team could only manage 22 runs in the next 24 balls.
The eighth wicket fell when Mitchell Santner dismissed Vipraj Nigam. In the 19th over, Delhi lost three wickets through run-outs, and the entire team was bowled out for 193 runs.
