Rohit Sharma's Emotional Dugout Moment Set Internet on Fire After MI's Last IPL 2025 Match

While playing their last IPL 2025 match, Mumbai Indians saw an unplanned and wonderful moment between Rohit Sharma with a young player named Mhatre where he worked hard for a candid response that fans absolutely loved. This brief moment which was filmed near the dugout area after the game, for everyone, reinforced that cricket is not just a game with scores, but experiences, memories and relationships with respect amongst players.

"We Played Together in Ranji Trophy" - Rohit's Genuine Connection

The video starts with Mhatre running up to Rohit in awe, as he greets him "well played yaar". Suryakumar Yadav (Sky) who also had a smile on his face standing beside said, "He wanted to meet you, means Rohit Sharma". What took place next, was a moment that made every fan feel something - Rohit replied firstly, like a true gentleman, saying "We played together in Ranji Trophy".

This almost blunt sentence statement revealed Rohit's humility. Even though he is one of the biggest cricketing stars in the world, he made it his mission to identify and acknowledge a fellow cricketer he had played with in his domestic cricket past. The statement not only came as a surprise to Mhatre but also, won over any social media observers. Also, it reminded everybody that legends never forget their journey and always respect history.

How to Play the Pull Shot?” - A Mildly Surprising Question, A Gentle Smile

Mhatre didn't just stop at a greeting, as he took advantage of a great opportunity to learn from one of the very best, asking the question, “How to play the pull shot from here?" - referring to the angle of the wicket or how it was delivered.. Rohit, who is universally renowned for his effortless elegance and exquisite power through the pull shot, smiled gently not knowing whether to laugh or give a genuine answer

While the fun to see how Rohit's response played, there was something very symbolic in this moment, crowning IPL for what it is: a space for young talent to learn. Rohit's humility and Mhatre's sincere curiosity were channeling beautiful teacher-student energy at that moment, showing fans that as much pressure as those moments have, there is always room for learners and, of course, teachers.

This simple exchange - a shared sense of respect, remembrance, and mentorship - mattered to us more than all the boundaries, or wickets. We were reminded why Test match fans loved this game, not just for the madness that's in and intensity of the atmosphere, but for the relationships this game builds. And, once more, Rohit Sharma meant it: his greatness isn't just in what he does off the field, but off it!

When: March 2, 13:00 Local, 14:30 IST

Where: Dubai International Cricket Stadium

What to expect: The mornings and nights here have been chilly, but during playtime, the temperatures are expected to be cricket-friendly, both in the afternoon and evening. The team winning the toss may opt to bat, but India won't mind chasing either.

NZ vs IND Team News:

India

India may opt to make a couple of changes, though it remains unclear whether they will rest skipper Rohit Sharma. The captain is nursing a hamstring injury, but he appeared to be fine on Friday night after batting for an extended period. Mohammed Shami could make way for Arshdeep Singh, with Varun Chakravarthy potentially coming in for Kuldeep Yadav.

Playing XI: Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja, Harshit Rana, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy

New Zealand

The already-qualified Black Caps too will be tempted to give players carrying niggles a breather before the knockouts. That said, Daryl Mitchell, is fit again after missing the Bangladesh game with illness. Who he replaces in the XI will be a dilemma for Santner and Stead given the player who replaced Mitchell, Rachin Ravindra, hit a fine hundred. Incidentally, Ravindra, who was injured before his return against Bangladesh, was replaced by Will Young, who also has a century in this tournament.

Playing XI: Will Young, Devon Conway, Kane Williamson, Rachin Ravindra, Tom Latham (wk), Glenn Phillips, Michael Bracewell, Mitchell Santner (c), Matt Henry, Kyle Jamieson, and William O'Rourke.

Pitch Report

It's pretty warm out here, the good news is that there is no chance of rain today. Talking about the dimensions, 62m to my left and 67m to my right and 79m down the ground. It's the quickest outfield in the tournament so there's value for shots. A lot of cracks, looks very Australian in nature, it's not going to hurt the batters much. After dark, it turns more for the spinners. South Africa have already played here against Afghanistan so that gives them an advantage. It looks like a very good surface for batting, reckon Shaun Pollock and Ramiz Raja.

England have been found wanting in the tournament and already stand eliminated. With Buttler having stepped down from England white-ball captaincy, things look gloomy for them. Today will mark Buttler’s last game as England captain. Their lack of discipline in bowling is the major issue that led to their losses – first against Australia and then against Afghanistan. They scored a mammoth 351 against Australia. But, the Aussies aced the run-chase to perfection, recording the highest successful run-chase in Champions Trophy history with consummate ease. Against Afghanistan, the Englishmen were bossing the game initially with their seamers flourishing but come the middle overs and the death overs, their bowlers lost the plot. They came close in the run-chase but the Afghanis held their nerves when it mattered the most.

Match Details

When: March 1, 2025; 14:00 Local, 11:00 SAT, 14:30 IST

Where: National Stadium, Karachi

What to expect: Hot and dry. And flat, although not as flat as Lahore

Also showcased his resilience,persistence and unwavering resolve on such a significant platform. 

A Knock Under Pressure: Danish Malewar Rescues His Team

Match Details

When: Afghanistan vs England, February 26, 2.00 PM local, 2.30 PM IST

Where: Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore

What to expect: If the Australia-England is anything to go by, there will be a truck load of runs once more. The recent tri-series featuring Pakistan, New Zealand and South Africa also saw big scores. Lahore has hosed nine ODIs since 2022, five of which have been won by the chasing side, with 300-plus totals being gunned down in the last two games. The average first innings total in these nine matches has been 297. Dew could be a factor and that might prompt captains to bowl after winning the toss.

Team news

Afghanistan

Noor Ahmad had a forgettable outing against the Proteas although the wrist spinner did pull things back a bit at the back end. Still, he had expensive figures and with nature of the tournament's format, Afghanistan might opt to get Mujeeb-ur-Rahman into the XI at Noor's expense.

Probable XI: Rahmanullah Gurbaz(wk), Ibrahim Zadran, Sediqullah Atal, Rahmat Shah, Hashmatullah Shahidi(c), Azmatullah Omarzai, Gulbadin Naib, Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan, Mujeeb-ur-Rahman/Noor Ahmad, Fazalhaq Farooqui.

England

There will be a forced change with Brydon Carse ruled out of the tournament. Gus Atkinson, Saqib Mahmood and Jamie Overton are all in with a shout of being the replacement in the XI. However, given that Overton has a far better batting ability while also being able to bowl at a reasonable pace, he might just edge the others.

Probable XI: Phil Salt, Ben Duckett, Jamie Smith(wk), Joe Root, Harry Brook, Jos Buttler(wk), Liam Livingstone, Jamie Overton, Adil Rashid, Jofra Archer, Mark Wood.
