Hardik Pandya, the captain of Mumbai Indians, didn’t hold back his admiration as he cheered on Rohit Sharma’s one-handed six during the IPL 2024 match at Mullanpur.
Opting to field after winning the toss didn’t prove fruitful for Punjab Kings in the powerplay, as the Mumbai Indians‘ top order amassed 54 runs.
Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav’s partnership flourished, surpassing fifty runs and providing a sturdy platform for the visiting team.
However, it was Rohit Sharma’s spectacular one-handed six off Harshal Patel that stole the limelight.
On the fourth delivery of the 11th over, Harshal Patel came to bowl a back-of-the-hand slower ball from over the wicket to Rohit Sharma. The Mumbai Indians’ captain quickly judged the variation and leaned forward to powerfully strike the ball down the ground.
The ball went sky-high, and even the commentators thought it might be a catch. But no, it landed just beyond the ropes, leaving Sam Curran staring into space at long-on. In the replay, it was shown that Rohit lost his grip while hitting the ball, but fortunately, it cleared the ropes.
Meanwhile, the Mumbai Indians captain, Rohit Sharma was spotted enjoying this shot while sitting in the dugout.
