Quick Glance: Rohit Sharma Takes Charge as Mumbai Indians Captain in Final Over After Akash Madhwal Ignores Hardik Pandya's Suggestions

Rohit Sharma took over as the captain of Mumbai Indians in the final over of the IPL 2024 match against Punjab Kings at the PCA Stadium in Mullanpur after Akash Madhwal ignored Hardik Pandya's inputs.

Preferring the young right-arm pacer despite Madhwal's poor performance, Hardik engaged in a lengthy discussion, prompting Rohit's intervention.

Due to their slow over rate, Mumbai Indians were limited to four fielders outside the 30-yard circle in the final over instead of the standard five.

Despite initial challenges, MI managed to clinch the match by effectively countering Rabada's final impactful shots and securing the victory.

Quick Glance: NBA Bans Jontay Porter of Raptors for Gambling Violations

Jontay Porter of the Toronto Raptors was banned from the league for disclosing confidential information to bettors, limiting his participation in at least one game with the Raptors, and betting on NBA games in the G-League.
