The Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians IPL 2025 face-off had its fair share of drama, but one unexpected angle has now caught the attention of fans — Rohit Sharma’s cheeky reaction during the mid-pitch clash between Jasprit Bumrah and Karun Nair.
The incident, which occurred as Karun Nair completed a comeback half-century, saw him collide with Bumrah while taking a second run. What initially appeared to be accidental quickly escalated when Bumrah, visibly frustrated, exchanged words with Nair. While Karun was seen apologising and trying to explain, what unfolded in the background added a humorous but sharp twist to the situation.

Cameras captured Rohit Sharma, standing at the edge of the inner circle, reacting animatedly to the collision. The MI opener was seen chuckling, gesturing mockingly, and clearly finding amusement in the exchange — a reaction that did not go unnoticed. His laughter and body language appeared to further provoke the tension, acting almost as a catalyst in escalating the moment.
As Karun Nair approached Hardik Pandya to clarify the incident, Rohit continued with his light-hearted gestures from a distance, almost mimicking the situation. While many fans saw it as classic Rohit humour, others believed the veteran opener’s antics may have unintentionally stoked the fire between the players.
In a match already buzzing with intensity, Rohit’s involvement — albeit in jest — brought a whole new layer to the drama. As always, the former MI skipper’s expressions became a talking point across social media, with many calling it “Rohit being Rohit” during high-stakes moments.
