Here Rohit Sharma took a decision and the Delhi Capitals' box was rounded. Sitting in the dugout, Hitman did what captain Hardik Pandya, who was present on the field, could not even think about. The result was that Mumbai Indians won the match against Delhi Capitals by 12 runs. Rohit Sharma's bat may not be able to do wonders in IPL 2025, but he is using his mind like Chacha Chaudhary. Rohit Sharma took the match-changing decision from the dugout after the 13th over of Delhi Capitals' innings.

Rohit Sharma took this decision and it affected the match.
Now the question is what was that decision? So its strings are connected to Rohit Sharma's advice given to Mumbai Indians head coach Mahela Jayawardene. Actually, after the 13th over, Rohit advised Jayawardene to change the ball and said that with a new ball, he should put the spinner on attack from both ends of the wicket. Delhi's team, which was already looking far from the target at that time, its condition seemed to be getting worse after Rohit's decision.
Rohit's decision showed its effect in the next 3 overs.
Following Rohit's advice, Mumbai Indians put Karn Sharma from one end and Santner from the other on the attack with the new ball, the result of which was seen in the next 3 overs. Both the bowlers gave only 19 runs during this period. Karn Sharma also targeted two big batsmen of Delhi, which include the names of explosive Tristan Stubbs and in-form KL Rahul.
