Mumbai Indians’ young player Ishan Kishan was dropped from the playing eleven for the game against Rajasthan Royals after going through a poor form in the ongoing Indian Premier League. Despite he was warming the bench, he was seen in a funny mood during the game.
However, Ishan Kishan was seen throwing some ice towards Shane Bond who was giving an interview in the first innings of the game. However, he truly enjoyed playing that prank as he was seen laughing with his teammates in the dugout. Soon, James Neesham too joined hands but he narrowly missed his target.
However, Shane Bond said: “It’ll be better if I wasn’t getting ice thrown at the back of my head from these muckers behind!”

After the convincing win, captain Rohit Sharma said: “Absolutely brilliant, we needed this win badly after a couple of losses, we did pretty much everything right, from ball one, very clinical towards the end as well. This is something that was required, we took the responsibility, good to see a complete team effort. We were positive about coming to Delhi, knew this was a good pitch, not like Chennai (laughs), we have played a lot of games and we do understand the conditions here. A good pitch, small boundaries, you always back yourself to do well but having said that the bowlers did the job for us, came back pretty well in the death overs, giving 50 odd runs with 7 wickets in hand was a great effort.”

He continued: “Playing the conditions well is important, we didn’t adapt well in Chennai, but we knew once that leg ended, we were going to play on good pitches. We didn’t adapt to those conditions well, but these conditions allowed our batters to come out and play the game they knew well. We have had a lot of discussions, we play in a certain manner and we want to adapt to that. It allows them to be fearless, a few guys can anchor the innings and play around the hitters. It’s important to have different characters in the team and that’s what we have got. Our bowling pleased me a lot, it’s easy to lose confidence when the opposition are doing well, but we stuck to our plans, very happy for Quinny, we know how dangerous he can be at the top of the order, good that he finished off the game. Not to forget, Krunal Pandya’s knock was crucial as well.”
