Rohit Sharma’s Hilarious Reaction to Dust Storm Disrupting Mumbai Indians’ Practice in Delhi – WATCH
NEW DELHI: As the IPL 2025 season heats up, the Delhi Capitals are gearing up to host the Mumbai Indians in a highly anticipated clash at the iconic Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday. The Hardik Pandya-led Mumbai Indians have already touched down in the capital and were in the midst of an intense training session when nature threw a curveball their way.
On Friday, Delhi and the surrounding NCR regions witnessed a dramatic shift in weather, with a sudden drop in temperatures and powerful dust storms sweeping through for the second consecutive day. The unexpected weather not only disrupted flight operations at the Indira Gandhi International Airport, causing numerous delays and diversions, but also put a halt to Mumbai Indians’ preparations for the crucial match.
In a lighthearted moment captured on video and shared by Mumbai Indians on their official social media handles, star batter Rohit Sharma was seen reacting to the chaotic weather with his trademark humor. As fierce winds battered the training ground, Rohit could be heard rallying his teammates with a shout of ‘comeback!’ before turning his attention to the cameraman. With a chuckle, he quipped, ‘Abey mera kya le rha hai? Wo video le!’ (Hey, why are you filming me? Shoot the storm instead!). The clip quickly went viral, showcasing Rohit’s knack for keeping spirits high even in challenging conditions.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert for Delhi on April 11, forecasting temperatures to fluctuate between 23°C and 38°C. While the dust storms caused considerable disruption, the overcast skies and cooler breezes provided a much-needed respite from the scorching heatwave that had gripped the region in recent days.
On the cricketing front, the Delhi Capitals are in sizzling form, remaining the only unbeaten team in the tournament with an impressive record of four wins from four matches. Under the leadership of Rishabh Pant, they have dominated opponents with a blend of aggressive batting and disciplined bowling, making them the team to beat this season.
In stark contrast, the Mumbai Indians are grappling with inconsistencies, languishing in the bottom half of the points table at eighth place. With just one win and four losses in five games, Hardik Pandya’s squad is in desperate need of a turnaround. The five-time champions will be banking on their key players, including Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, and Jasprit Bumrah, to deliver against a formidable Delhi side.
As the dust settles—quite literally—Mumbai Indians will be hoping to weather the storm, both on and off the field, when they face off against Delhi Capitals in what promises to be an electrifying encounter. Stay tuned for more updates as we bring you the latest from the IPL 2025!
