Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals are facing each other in the 13th match of the Indian Premier League in Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium. Both teams have had a similar season so far with two wins and a defeat out of the first three games they have played so far. Rishabh Pant’s team will be eyeing revenge for last year’s defeat in the final.
However, the game started on a wrong note for DC as they lost the toss and Rohit Sharma took no time in opting to bat first, given the record of Chennai’s ground it was a no brainer.

Meanwhile, when Rishabh Pant was mentioning his team combination for this game to Danny Morrison, senior Rohit Sharma tried to pull his leg by interrupting him. This cheeky moment was noticed by the netizens and went viral straight away.
Batting first, Rohit was looking in his element and gave his team a blazing start. He with the help of Suryakumar Yadav raced MI’s total to 55 for 1 in six overs. However, they slipped from there and lost wickets in a cluster. At the 12 over’s mark, MI were reeling at 84/6 with Ishan Kishan in the middle. Amit Mishra was the wrecker in chief with three big wickets of Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, and Kieron Pollard.
