Banter on the cricket field adds flavor to the game, and a recent incident between Bengaluru and Mumbai Indians saw Rohit Sharma teasing Dinesh Karthik in a light-hearted moment at Wankhede Stadium.
After winning the toss and electing to bowl first, Mumbai Indians had a strong start, claiming the wickets of Will Jacks and Virat Kohli early on. However, Faf du Plessis and Rajat Patidar’s partnership of 82 runs propelled Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) to 93/2 in 11 overs. Despite a middle-order collapse that saw the dismissals of Patidar and Glenn Maxwell, Faf’s impressive 61 off 40 balls put RCB in a strong position. With Dinesh Karthik’s quickfire innings towards the end, RCB managed to post a competitive total.
As Karthik unleashed his attacking strokes, Rohit Sharma, fielding at first slip, walked towards him and humorously remarked about Karthik’s selection for the upcoming T20 World Cup.

Rohit jokingly said, “World cup khelna hai, world cup khelna hai” (you have to play the world cup), hinting at the T20 World Cup scheduled to start from June 4th.
Twitter erupted with reactions to Rohit’s witty comment:
- One user shared, “Rohit is such a vibe xD xD”
- Another user commented, “This Chapri will ruin Mumbai’s legacy.”
Despite the banter, Rohit Sharma’s Mumbai Indians emerged victorious, showcasing their strength in the IPL 2024 season.
