Former Mumbai Indians (MI) skipper Rohit Sharma had a forgettable moment in the field when he dropped a dolly during the crucial clash against the Delhi Capitals (DC) tonight (May 21) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL 2025).
The incident happened on the final ball of the powerplay. Mitchell Santner floated up a delivery on middle and off. Vipraj Nigam backed away and sliced it straight to short third but Rohit made an absolute hash of it.
Watch the video of the incident below.
Luckily for Rohit Sharma, Vipraj Nigam couldn’t do much damage as he departed two overs later for 20 (11). Rohit was also subsequently impacted out of the field after the end of the seventh over for Karn Sharma.

Speaking about the MI vs DC game, Rohit Sharma struggled to deliver with the bat earlier too, managing just 5 runs off 5 balls. However, Suryakumar Yada, who has been a lynchpin in the MI batting attack over the years and once more this season, stepped up with an unbeaten 73*(43) to guide MI to 180 for 5 in 20 overs.
At the time of writing this report, the DC scoreboard reads 65 for 4 in 9 overs with Sameer Rizvi and Tristan Stubbs currently batting in the middle.
Both teams face a do-or-die situation as the winner of tonight will virtually seal the final playoffs spot. MI are currently fourth in the points table with 14 points from 12 games while DC has 13 points from 12 matches.
While a DC loss will put them out of contention, if the Hardik Pandya-led side faces defeat, they will have to win their final league match and hope DC squanders theirs to seal a top-four finish.
