His behaviour was highly entertaining after teammate Dinesh Karthik ran him out
Rohit Sharma is clearly enjoying the captaincy of Mumbai Indians. In the past, indiscipline and arrogance impeded the growth of the talented batsman. But he seems to have achieved some control over his instincts and is in fine nick heading the IPL team. Still, there are moments when Sharma just can’t help it. When Dinesh Karthik ran him out in a match against the Royal Challengers Bangalore, Sharma hurled his bat to the ground. Reaching the dugout, he threw his gloves down, glaring at the field. It may not have been captain-like behaviour, but it was highly entertaining. It’s great that Sharma has changed—even if not much.
