Mumbai Indians (MI) are set to host Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) game on Thursday. Both sides have played six games each and need a win going into the halfway mark of the season. Jasprit Bumrah, who has made his return to the game, was spotted in a car with England pacer Reece Topley.
The duo were heading back after an intense training session at the Wankhede Stadium on Tuesday. One fan was hilariously heard saying “Boom-Boom (Bumrah’s nickname)” and followed it up by mispronouncing the bowler's name as ‘Tropley’. The fan in question was then heard asking the pacer if he wanted to taste Mumbai Chai in a rather hilarious manner.
Bumrah had a smile on his face as he turned to Topley and was seen relaying the message. In the video the fan was also heard saying, "Bumrah bhai paanch wicket aana chaiye” (need a fifer from you in the coming game). The video ended with the fan tapping on the window to garner the Indian seamer’s attention.

Former India star applauds Rohit Sharma’s inputs in the win over DC
Harbhajan Singh, who had played ten sseasonsof IPL for Mumbai Indians lauded Rohit Sharma’s role in the win over Delhi Capitals. The former MI skipper was seen giving huge inputs and directing the bowling changes from the dugout. One of the key inputs was to bowl to Karn Sharma at a time when Delhi were coasting towards an easy win.
The former Indian spinner took to his YouTube channel and said, “Rohit Sharma played the masterstroke. He asked the head coach, Mahela Jayawardene, to employ spinners and bring Karn Sharma into the attack. Mahela Jayawardene refused to listen to Rohit and wasn't on board with the decision. If they had gone with what Jayawardene had to say, the Mumbai Indians would have also lost this game. Rohit Sharma was there, he had the best move. He is the captain. He always thinks like a captain. A captain is always the captain, and his tactical acumen helped Mumbai win”
The 44-year-old also said, “Karn Sharma came into the attack and took three wickets, turning the game's tide. It was a gold move. This wouldn't have happened when Tilak Varma retired against Lucknow and Mitchell Santner was sent in if Rohit Sharma had been in the dugout. Mahela Jayawardene made a bad move. Rohit was incredible against Delhi Capitals. Sometimes, the coaches must keep their egos aside and consider how the team can benefit. I hope Rohit Sharma keeps sharing his inputs from the dugout,"
