Aakash madhwal met Rohit Sharma and Ritika sajdeh: In the 50th match of IPL 2025 played at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, fast bowler Akash Madhwal got a chance to make his debut for Rajasthan Royals (RR). He could not take wickets against his old team but he definitely impressed with his bowling.
After this match, Akash remained in the headlines for another reason. After the match, Akash Madwal was seen meeting his former captain of Mumbai Indians Rohit Sharma and during this time he met Rohit with folded hands while greeting with respect. There was also a conversation between the two, in which Rohit pointed to his wife Ritika Sajdeh in the stand and Madhwal also called Ritika with folded hands. Not only this, Akash later also took Rohit’s autograph on the Rajasthan Royals jersey. You can watch the video of this incident below.

Madhwal, who is now part of the Royals setup, made his IPL debut under Rohit’s leadership two season ago. The campaign also included a 5 -wicket historical spell for 5 runs against Lucknow Super Giants, which was the best ever performance by an uncapormed Indian in the league. However, the story remained completely different on Thursday night. Playing his first match of the IPL 2025 season, Madhwal missed the wicket and conceded 39 runs in four overs.

If we talk about the position of the two teams in the current tournament, then after finishing ninth for a few weeks, Hardik Pandya -led team has now registered seven consecutive wins. His brilliant victory in Jaipur has brought him to the first place in the points table and he has reached close to the playoffs. Whereas after this defeat, Rajasthan Royals is out of the playoffs.
