MI legend Rohit Sharma was over the moon as the Hardik Pandya-led side qualified for the IPL 2025 playoffs with a 59-run win over the Delhi Capitals (DC) on May 21 in Mumbai. With this Mi joined, GT, RCB and PBKS in the final four of the ongoing tournament.

After the match, the MI squad took a lap of honor around the Wankhede stadium to thank the fans for their support. Rohit Sharma was walking around throwing balls into the crowd with a tennis racquet and was simultaneously conversing with MI owner Nita Ambani who was also waling with him.

The fans, many of whom had openly supported Rohit during the franchise's leadership change last year, found resonance in the two's intense conversation as they moved around the field.

Rohit continued to create moments. After the lap, he stood next to Kevin Pietersen and Kuldeep Yadav for the post-match presentation. He then used a tennis racquet to throw balls into the stands as a thank you to the supporters, sending the Wankhede crowd into a frenzy. Moments before, he had done the same thing from another part of the ground.
