It was a turnaround to remember for ages from Mumbai Indians during their IPL 2025 match vs Delhi Capitals on Sunday. In the chase of 206, DC were 145 for 4, needing 61 runs in the remaining 7 overs to win. MI requested for the ball change and it was approved by the umpires, and what came next was a pefect thriller. The Hardik Pandya-led side bounced back in the game and eventually sealed it with a narrow margin of 12 runs. After the game, it was revealed that former MI captain Rohit Sharma, who led the team to record five IPL titles, played a crucial role in the team's victory.

When the ball was changed after the 13th over, Rohit, who was in the dug-out after getting replaced with impact substitute Karn Sharma, instructed Hardik to bring spin into the attack. Since the ball was dry, Rohit's plan worked perfectly. Visuals shared by host broadcaster also suggest that Rohit, MI's bowling coach Paras Mhambrey and head coach Kumar Sangakkara were involved in a discussion before the ex-captain sent his instructions into the ground.
