MI Vs RCB IPL 2024: Mumbai Indians (MI) thrashed Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) by 7 wickets during their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 encounter on Thursday, April 11, at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The manner in which MI thwarted RCB was very uncomfortable for the latter’s supporters to watch as the Hardik Pandya-led side made the chase of 197 a cakewalk by chasing it within 15.3 overs, and the win now takes them to 7th, whereas RCB are now all but confirming their elimination from playoffs race so early in the season.
However, in a match involving iconic bowling from Jasprit Bumrah and monstrous hitting from MI batters, the most-talked about moment came during the first innings of the match, when RCB’s Dinesh Karthik walked out to bat and him and ‘Hitman’ shared a wholesome moment, audio of which was caught by the stump mic and the clip has now gone viral.

Was The Stump-Mic Conversation Between Rohit Sharma And Dinesh Karthik A Hidden Message For Ishan Kishan
The majority of the fans have potentially missed out on the ultimate brilliance of Rohit Sharma, who’s the Indian Cricket Team’s (ICT) captain across all formats, as the ‘Hitman’ indirectly motivated Ishan Kishan while conversing with Dinesh Karthik. As seen in the clip embedded above, Rohit clearly states to Dinesh Karthik that “keeping spot is up for grabs for the T20 World Cup”, while being a few meters away from Ishan Kishan, who was wicket keeping.
For the readers who haven’t got the message, the conversation was key for Ishan Kishan as he is one of the finest wicket-keeper batsman out there but his central contract with BCCI was terminated this year. The reason for this is suspected to be his unavailability for red-ball cricket for domestic team.
However, the conversation worked like a magic for the batter as he smashed his first fifty of the season and looked like the Ishan Kishan of old, and for this, Rohit Sharma has earned immense praise from cricketing fans.
