Fielders usually celebrate after taking a catch but the Mumbai Indians (MI) skipper, Rohit Sharma produced a hilarious moment when he celebrated a bumped catch. Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) batter, Manish Pandey mistimed his cover drive which came off the toe end of the bat, and went at covers to Rohit who celebrated the once bounce catch to entertain the crowd.

After losing all the five matches they have played so far, MI had a disappointing start against Lucknow Super Giants as well. MI won the toss and asked the opposition to bat first. LSG started very well as they were on 57/1 at the end of the power play. However, Rohit Sharma managed to find a hilarious moment to entertain the fans.

However, the batter missed the shot and the ball came off the toe end of the bat. Rohit Sharma was fielding at covers and he grabbed the ball on one bounce. Rohit started celebrating the take like a wicket in a hilarious manner. The crowd also responded to the celebration and they cheered him.

Honestly, how can you not love Rohit Sharma's antics? 😂

He fooled the Brabourne spectators into cheering a wicket by taking an obvious bump ball at cover before hurling the ball into the air and celebrating 🤣 #IPL2022 #MIvLSG pic.twitter.com/LUJw0H76m7
