'Fraud and choker' trend as Rohit Sharma falls to left-arm bowler again; fans ask him to retire
However, MI didn't get the start they were hoping for, as DC pacer Mustafizur Rahman dismissed Rohit Sharma for just 5 off 5 balls, silencing the Wankhede crowd — especially on a day when MI was handing out special 'Hitman' jerseys and masks.

All-rounder Shreyanka Patil and spinner Priya Mishra have been ruled out of India A's upcoming tour of Australia. The selectors have added 22-year-old Dhara Gujjar and 23-year-old Prema Rawat across all three formats, alongside wicketkeeper-batter Yastika Bhatia, to the one-day squad. Gujjar was earlier named in the one-day and multi-day squads, while Rawat was only part of the T20 squad. The team will play a multi-format series Down Under comprising three T20s, three 50-over matches, and a four-day red-ball fixture against Australia A. 'As mentioned in the earlier media release dated July 10, their participation was subject to fitness clearance," the BCCI said in a statement. 'Both players remain under the care of the BCCI Medical Team at the Centre of Excellence and are currently undergoing their Return-to-Play protocols." Shreyanka has been out of action since last year's Women's T20 World Cup in the UAE due to an ankle injury. She also missed out on IPL 2025 and was replaced by Sneh Rana in Royal Challengers Bengaluru's squad.
