Ramandeep Singh, a key player for Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL, previously played for Mumbai Indians under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. In a recent podcast, Ramandeep shared an incident where Rohit Sharma surprised him with his captaincy acumen. Rohit instructed him to bowl to MS Dhoni with the intention of getting him out, even if it meant conceding some runs. This incident took place during a match between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2022, where Ramandeep successfully dismissed Dhoni’s partner, Maheesh Theekshana, but Dhoni remained unbeaten.
Despite this, Ramandeep’s performance in the match was overshadowed by his lackluster performance in the IPL 2025 season opener for KKR, where he failed to make an impact with the bat. Despite this, Ramandeep praised Rohit Sharma’s leadership skills and credited him for instilling confidence and freedom in the team. This incident highlights the strategic mindset of Rohit Sharma as a captain and the impact he had on Ramandeep’s development as a player.
