Rohit Sharma’s smart moves from the dugout break Delhi Capitals' winning streak in the IPL 2025

At the start of the 14th over, the Indian captain gave a signal to Karn Sharma to switch the ball. The ball had become dry by then, and Rohit’s smart move paid off. This season, a new IPL rule allows the bowling side in night matches to change the ball after 10 overs to deal with the dew.

Well, there’s no doubt that Rohit Sharma is one of the best captains the IPL has ever seen. He led the Mumbai Indians to five IPL titles and is the joint-most successful captain in the tournament’s history, along with MS Dhoni, who also won five titles for Chennai Super Kings as captain.

But Rohit’s successful journey as MI captain came to an unexpected end last year when Hardik Pandya was made the new captain of the team. However, Rohit is going through a rough phase of his IPL career with the bat, amassing only 56 runs in 5 games so far this season.
