Rohit, who was sitting next to LSG mentor Zaheer Khan when Shardul arrived late for practice, didn’t miss the chance to pull his leg, much to the amusement of those around.

Watch:

While the banter kept spirits high, the upcoming match at Wankhede Stadium promises serious competition.
Both Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants are locked at 10 points after nine games, with MI holding a slight edge thanks to a better

net run rate

. With

playoff spots

on the line, every game counts from here.
Mumbai are peaking at the right time, riding a wave of four consecutive wins.
Rohit Sharma himself has found form, blasting two solid half-centuries recently after a slow start to the season. Support has also come from Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, and Trent Boult, making MI a serious threat.

For LSG, the batting core of Nicholas Pooran, Mitchell Marsh, and Aiden Markram has been vital, but consistency will be key if they hope to topple a confident MI unit.
With local boy Shardul Thakur leading their bowling attack and young Digvesh Rathi impressing, LSG will hope to stage an upset despite the tough conditions.
