Mumbai Indians' (MI) star batter Rohit Sharma and team owner Nita Ambani took a lap of honor at the Wankhede Stadium after their IPL 2025 match against the Delhi Capitals (DC). The two teams faced each other on Wednesday, May 21, with MI winning and sealing their playoff spot while eliminating DC. This was the last IPL 2025 match in Mumbai.
During the lap of honor, Rohit had a tennis racket in his hand with which he hit a few tennis balls into the stands for the fans present, and also waved at them.
The two were surrounded by security as they walked while interacting with each other. In a video that has surfaced on social media, Rohit Sharma can be seen in his full MI playing kit, while Nita Ambani can be seen in her white, blue, and pink MI shirt.

The Mumbai Indians beat the Delhi Capitals by 59 runs. With the win, they also secured their playoff berth, becoming the fourth and final team to qualify. Delhi have officially exited the playoff race. However, both teams have one league game each remaining.
A look at Rohit Sharma's IPL 2025 campaign so far
Rohit Sharma did not have a great start to his IPL 2025 season. He had a run of poor scores before regaining some form. The right-hander has scored three half-centuries in the last six games.
Against the Delhi Capitals, though, Rohit failed to get going in a crucial match. He managed just five runs off as many balls, including a boundary.
Overall, this season, he has scored 305 runs from 12 innings at an average of 27.72 and a strike-rate of 150.99, with three half-centuries. Rohit firing at the top will be key for Mumbai during the playoffs. They have one more league-stage game against the Punjab Kings (PBKS), where the right-hander will aim to get some runs under his belt, which will boost his confidence going into the playoffs.
Mumbai will face Punjab on Monday, May 26, at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.
