NEW DELHI: A light-hearted moment between Rohit Sharma<\/a> and Shane Bond<\/a> stole attention after Mumbai Indians<\/a>‘ emphatic 100-run win over Rajasthan Royals<\/a> on Thursday.
In a video posted by Rajasthan Royals\u2019 official X (formerly Twitter) handle, Rohit was seen joking with Bond’s kid over a video call post-match: \u201cI just gave my bat to the old man right here. Make sure he doesn\u2019t use it, you use it.\u201d

The joke came after a powerful performance from the Mumbai skipper, who scored a brisk 53 off 36 balls, setting the tone for Mumbai\u2019s huge total of 217\/2. Rohit and opening partner Ryan Rickelton (61 off 38) built a formidable 116-run stand at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.

After their departure, Mumbai didn\u2019t slow down. Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya smashed an unbeaten 48 each, with SKY finishing the innings with a six to set Rajasthan a steep target of 218.
The Royals crumbled early in their chase. Teen prodigy Vaibhav Suryavanshi fell for a duck, and Yashasvi Jaiswal was out for 13, leaving Rajasthan reeling at 20\/2. The rest of the batting line-up followed suit as Jasprit Bumrah (2\/15) and Karn Sharma (3\/23) dismantled the middle order.<\/p>\n

With key players like Riyan Parag, Shimron Hetmyer, and Dhruv Jurel falling cheaply, Rajasthan slumped to 117 all out in 16.1 overs. Only Jofra Archer, with a patient 30 off 27, offered brief resistance.
The loss not only ended Rajasthan Royals\u2019 playoff hopes but also extended Mumbai\u2019s winning streak to six matches, taking them to the top of the IPL<\/a> points table.
Reflecting on the loss, Parag admitted, \u201c190\u2013200 would\u2019ve been ideal\u2026 the middle order has to step up.\u201d Meanwhile, Pandya credited Mumbai\u2019s recent form to \u201csimple, disciplined cricket\u201d \u2014 and, perhaps, a lucky bat.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
