Luke Wood’s Alleged Ignorance
During Luke Wood’s over, a ball hit straight back to him after a defensive shot by Wriddhiman Saha. Rohit Sharma, seemingly attempting to communicate with Wood, was met with what appeared to be a deliberate snub, as Wood turned his face away and continued without acknowledging Rohit. This incident has fueled discussions regarding the alleged lack of respect towards Rohit within the Mumbai Indians team.
Jasprit Bumrah Shines Despite Mumbai’s Setback
Despite the controversy surrounding the incident with Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah’s stellar performance stood out in the match against Gujarat Titans. Bumrah’s sharp bowling skills were on display as he claimed three crucial wickets for just 14 runs in his four overs.

Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians’ captain Hardik Pandya, while leading the bowling attack, conceded 30 runs in his three overs.
