The Mumbai Indians (MI) camp was buzzing with energy and emotion after their dominating nine-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings , but it was a special post-match huddle moment that stole the show on social media.In a video shared by MI’s official handle, head coach Mahela Jayawardene addressed the team with heartfelt praise and honesty. Referring to Kieron Pollard 's pre-match words, Mahela said:“At the huddle, Polly asked for something special—and you guys delivered.”But then, Mahela went deeper, drawing from his own journey as a player:“I’ve been through that as well, like playing cricket... you go through a little trot and then you have to dig deep. Few demons in your head as well.”He then turned to Rohit Sharma , who had just played a match-winning unbeaten 76, and added with admiration:“But Ro… brilliant. Maverick. Well played.”The team burst into applause, with Rohit sporting a cool pair of sunglasses and soaking in the love. It was a subtle but powerful celebration of not just a knock, but a comeback — a quiet fighter reclaiming his rhythm in style.
