Karn, brought in during the middle overs, delivered a sensational spell, picking up three crucial wickets to bring MI right back into the match against Delhi Capitals.

Karn first dismissed Abishek Porel, who was set and threatening to anchor the chase. He then removed Tristan Stubbs for just 1 and followed it up by sending KL Rahul back to the pavilion with a sharp caught and bowled chance. At a time when Delhi Capitals seemed to be cruising, Rohit’s timely suggestion and Karn’s execution sparked a turnaround.
This moment is being hailed by fans and analysts alike as a prime example of Rohit’s tactical brilliance and on-field intuition, even when not officially leading the side. With his deep understanding of the game, Rohit Sharma continues to prove why he’s regarded as one of the finest cricketing minds in the modern era.
